As I work through things from my past, in therapy and prayer, God is making me face some hard truths… various types of abuse on both sides of my family. I can honestly say there has been a cycle of evil in both my mom and dad’s families for many generations. They tried their best to break the cycle, but didn’t get very far, and exposed me and my brothers to a lot. I have gone through tons of counselling in my past, but mostly CBT, and now at 30 years of age, I am starting the real work of sorting out the messiness. After dating my boyfriend for seven months, there were just too many unhealthy things I brought into our relationship, that I could no longer ignore my past. I thought I had been doing the right thing of moving forward, but that is what my family has done forever - sweep things under the rug.

Now I am having to face some very difficult things on my own… although I felt that God brought me and my boyfriend together (I had started another prayer thread for him, and for his healing, for all the troubles I’ve brought into his life since we started dating), I do not know our future together. I am just a few months away from graduating from a professional degree program, and have a good future ahead of me as an RN.

But I am scared to go into my past and face all the evil that has been there, and I fear it will be too much for me. So I ask for prayers, that I can face the pain, realize the truth, and heal the way God intends for me to heal… so that someday, I might be able to marry and have a healthier family than the one I was raised into, that I might break this cycle of evil that I was born into.

Thank you for your prayers.
 
When I look at a bad situation that is past, I usually think 1) It was wrong, and why. 2) Maybe they were down right evil 3) Maybe they were doing the best they knew how at the time 4) Decide NOT to put myself in that position again 5) Forgive them. They are made weak by their sin. They are a slave to it. Through forgiving them YOU are set free!
 
I entrust you to the loving care of the Blessed Virgin Mary. May she help you to persevere in a state of grace and help you to heal. I pray that you turn to her in your need and that you find her comfort to be just what you need to get through your painful memories.

Hail Mary…

Amen.
 
Dear ubcgirl, I will remember you in my rosary tomorrow. Ask St. Padre Pio to intercede for you. He is a very powerful intercessor. God Bless… TeresaDiane
 
Thank you all so much for your prayers… I truly appreciate it. I have been having a tough time these past couple of days, and I don’t have very many people in my family to pray for me - most of my family has left the Catholic church long ago, and I don’t have too many Catholic friends.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.*

Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished
children of Eve, to thee do we send
up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley, of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us; and
after this our exile show unto us the
blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus;
O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God
That we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ.
