In the last 2 weeks the following have occured;
  • Made a trip over 4 hours away to visit my MIL. The motel we ended up in was in rough shape but nothing else was avaliable. Our 2 yr old didn’t sleep and we come to find out that my MIL who is Schizophernic is now in the worst shape we’ve ever seen her in. We couldn’t get her to do a thing. Wouldn’t get out of our car and walk around with us at all. She only wanted to smoke and that was it. Couldn’t even keep her head held up at all and wouldn’t hug my DH (her son) goodbye even. Our son had an allergic reaction the next day before we headed back home and couldn’t figure out to what.
  • Found out my Crystal Meth addicted brother relapsed and that there was a chance he wouldn’t be making it home for a visit
  • My aunt insulted my weight at a family BBQ right to my brother’s face (yes he made it home :))
  • My DH confronted my FIL with some boundaries and my FIL called me a w**** telling my husband I was going to lie and eventually cheat and take off with our son and hold it against him
  • My Brother finds out that he may have to return home 2 weeks early because his roomate relapsed and may or may not be looking after their cats at all, screwing up our chance of getting a family photo shoot
  • I went out for dinner with a couple of friends and it ended with me in an ambulance being checked out by paramedics because I was having heart palpatations and had no color and was sweating and my blood pressure apparently dropped causing me to nearly faint.
  • The same night I went out for dinner I returned home to my crying neighbour who is like a little sister to me to discover that her rottweiler attacked one of her cats, swiniging it around in her mouth by her head.I ended up driving her to the after hours vet and spent the night there with her. (The cat who only just turned a year sadly had to be put down because she sustained way too much head trauma :’( )
  • Our 2 year old son acted out so badly that DH and I finally saw why exactly his pediatrician wants him assessed for Autism
  • There was nothing but chaos trying to help my husband arrange his medical leave from the Navy so that he could get the help he needs to have his anxiety, depression, stress, and anger managed.
  • Today is my Mother’s birthday and today of all days my brother is trying to make arrangements to return back home today totally messing with the scheduling of family photos which may not happen now and if they do my Mom won’t be smiling in any of them as their relationship has been rocky and it was a big step for her to pay for his ticket to come visit.
My hubby and I are beginning to think we’ve been cursed or that someone up above really doesn’t like us 😦
 
Sorry for all the drama. I would make a couple foil packs, grab a bag of charcoal, and just take your husband and son out for a barbeque in a park somewhere. Maybe find a spot by a creek or with a peaceful view.
 
It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Your brother’s addiction and its consequences are his responsibility, not yours. If he fails, he fails. The other thing, about your aunt saying you are fat: Just thank the offender for the information in a sarcastic tone. I have been obese my entire adult life. Believe me, I know when I have gained weight or lost, and I don’t need a weekly report from some other person.

Praying for you and your family:signofcross:
 
I suggest you put a prayer request on
the “prayer intentions” thread. It seems
that the devil is working over-time to make
life miserable for you and your family,
you should talk to your confessor or
better yet an exorcist about
this, because it hints of demonic infestation
or even possession.
 
This just sounds like life. I’ve recently had a rough patch as well. No big deal, just don’t let it get to you.
 
But take heart, God
has given us power over EVERY form of
satanic power(Luke 10:19) AND gave us a
formula to drive out demonic infestations
(Tobit 6:4,7)- zealous courage(liver) and
ardent love(heart) of a fish(Christian).
 
As 1Lord1Faith says, this just sounds like life. Certainly not demon oppression!

It sounds as if you are assigning equal amounts of frustration to things that really don’t rate the same concern. Sounds like your main concerns are your husband needing medical leave, your two year old’s health, and your own health, particularly blood pressure. Maybe higher related to stress.
The missed photo opportunities, the unfortunate incident of the neighbor’s cat, are not really in the same league. It’s a shame about your brother’s and MILs problems but they belong to them. And if your relatives are going to make rude or hurtful comments about you, best avoid them in future.
Praying as a couple may help with stress and keeping things in perspective.
God bless.
