Recently, I have finally begun to see and understand an abusive family situation that has caused me subconscious distress for most of my life. A lot of old wounds are opening and a lot of pain and anger is spilling out (thank God I have both a good therapist who actually happens to be Catholic and a spiritual director). On top of this, the person in question (a parent) is going through a serious medical crisis…I am doing my best to be supportive to that person but anyone who has experience being in a relationship with a seriously ill person where there is abuse knows about this very special challenge. This person continues to lash out and exhibit abusive behavior patterns towards others, particularly in their weakened emotional state due to dealing with their physical illness.
I have also recently decided to cease being open to a possible vocation while we weather out this medical storm and another situation in my personal life. My heart is very heavy at having to close this door, but I know that it is probably for the best long-term.
Please keep my family and me in your prayers as we prepare to enter another season of treatment, testing, and, God willing, ultimately healing (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual).
Thank you
