Does anyone know a saint that had to deal with difficult parents? Parents who professed the faith but did not lead the life? Lukewarmers, I guess? Or outright heretics? It would be great to find out how they were able to love them in spite of their creating their own version of Catholicism. Thanks and God bless!

Yes, she is! I hadn’t read about her in awhile but remembered the hardened hearts of her parents; what a beautiful testament she is of unselfish love.

Saint Dymphna (I know I most likely spelled that wrong). She is Patron Saint of those with mental illness because her father had one and kept trying to rape her, but she kept saying no and prayed for him. Eventually he killed her. So I suppose I would classify him as a “difficult parent”. 😛
