Please help, I feel like I am fighting a loosing battle.
I have grown up in a violent family (father beat my mother) up until my mother discovered she had breast cancer 8 (??) years ago. Thankfully the doctors were able to rid the cancer and she was ok. Father stopped physically abusing her however treated her a touch better than a servant. My mother got breast cancer a second time, a more aggressive one a few years ago and had to have both breasts removed. My mother is suffering considerably with her past illnesses as well as with a very demanding husband who with age is only becoming worse. He makes her life a misery not to mention us kids. Most times shows absolutely no respect for my mother or his children. Don’t know what to do anymore, its becoming unbearable, at times I think the physical abuse will start any moment, he is a ticking time bomb!
I did something very TERRIBLE and offended Jesus so much, although received his forgiveness, I still carry the burden of that sin.
I feel soooooooooooo very lonely at times, my friends (all of them) and family are married with children, it makes me envious and sometimes feeling like the “bad fruit nobody buys”.
I pray that God helps me ACCEPT whatever His Will is, whether it be to be alone for the rest of my life or whether it be to get married some time in the future.
I would give anything for the conversion of my family, my parents have been away from Church for so many years, my older sister only goes for her daughter who attends a Catholic school and when I try to talk to her about it, she shrugs me off, her husband has no interest whatsoever in Church or its teachings, and my younger sister, BIL and I have only just come back to Church. We still need a lot of spiritual guidance.
For me to quit smoking!
Please PLEASE pray for the above, right now I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I beg Jesus to lighten my cross, and I really need my brother and sisters here ON CA to help me with prayers!
Your all in my prayers.
