What do I do when my rights as God mother were taken away?

[dddunda]

I am a God Mother for 2 wonderful little girls. I went thru the classes and everyting. I was best friends with the Parents for years. Her 14 year old son did somethng inapproirted to my 13 year old niece, when I confronted her about it, she got so mad at me that she will not speak to me, or let me see or talk to the girls.

I have stayed strong in my faith and trying to do the right thing. I have not told no one what her son did, we did not press any charges. But she is the one acting like she was wronged. because she believes her kids do no wrong.

My heart is broken in two over this. I am willing to forgive and still open my heart and arms to her. But she is going around telling everyone that I am a horrible person and all kinds of bad things that are not true at all

I am heart broke and do not know what to do. What can I do for my God Daughters?

Please help!!!

Dear friend,

Your main responsibility as a God mother is to see to your God children’s spiritual welfare when their parents are no longer able to do so. Your God children do not need that at the present.

Pray for your God daughters, and their brother and their mother. I don’t understand why your niece’s mother wasn’t the one to confront your friend. It is her responsibility to respond to the situation. I should think that she would report the matter to the proper authorities. When young men get away with such behavior, they are likely to repeat it.

As for you, get on with your life. You may feel broken, but you are not broken. Your feelings are not you. Spend time reflecting on the Lord’s Passion. Turn your attention from yourself over to Him and you will be free and at peace.
