Some of you may have read when I previously posted my story, here is a compacted recap.
My dad is an extremely questionable person who has never been there for my mother, myself or my two brothers. He is a liar, he has been unfaithful to my mother during their whole marriage, has given away almost $40,000 of our finances to his “side” women, and has verbally, and sometimes physically, abused our family.
My parish thinks he is a saint. The church is his stage where he performs an excellent show that I sometimes have to remind myself is a lie.
He had a stroke this year and during this time (WHILE in recovery) he still continued in his ways as soon as he had access to his phone to contact his women again. He is lying about it, but my mother has access to his Facebook account and can see the messages coming and going.
After 20 years of this, my mother finally decided to separate from him and plan on divorce, he has been living at his office. He as recovered mostly from the stroke but still cannot drive.
One of the parishioners has offered to take him to church again, and my father accepted. My father is now the innocent man who had a stroke and whose family abandoned him in his great time of need.
The priest knows the truth, but we cannot bring ourselves to tell anyone else because we don’t want to gossip or make him look like a terrible person.
So we’re left sitting in the back pew while watching him be coddled in the front row by the other parishioners.
Please pray for us, this has caused me so much turmoil. Rosarys, Chaplets, Our Fathers, ANYTHING. Please brothers and sisters, this time is so trying.
