Will my priest look down on me?

[blondey07]

Ok so I am 24 years old I have 3 children already and i am expecting again, i know this is not exected of me being a catholic woman but hear me out…

I was very happy with my partner until i fell pregnant this time and he decided to leave me and the children he doesnt want nohing to do with any of us anymore and i have not seen him since he walked out on us in july, I dont mind the fact i am a single mother and my children have not been upset that they havent seen there father i take my children to church every sunday i read the bible to them and we pray every night i go to work but sometimes i would just like to speak to my priest just for some clarity and pray with me for strength, but i am too scared incase he will look down on me and i wouldnt know how to even approch him about this matter. My priest has always been very helpful to me and i feel confiding in him would make me feel so much more better about this situation, if anybody can help it would be appriciated.
Sometimes i just want to cry as i feel i hve nobody to turn to even tho i have a close family who have been wonderful and give me all the help and support i just dont feel i can talk to them like i could with my priest.

That’s a terrible story! Of course you should tell your priest. I’m sure that he will help you get through this. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. God bless you. Go to your church. People there will help you. And (unCatholic thought of the day): take your partner to court if he won’t pay child support or you can’t reconcile. That’s the least he can do. My dad abandoned us when my brother and I were small, and my mom had to go on welfare for a time. It was difficult. Be strong. Ask for help.

No one can look down on you. You are a mother,

Your priest will not look down on you.

But it sounds like you were not married? You don’t have to answer that; it’s just that if you weren’t married, you may need to go to Confession. Of course, I may have just taken to wrong meaning from your post or you may have already done that.

Being 24, pregnant, and with 3 children is tough, esp on your own. Do not be afraid to reach out for help when you need it.

Lady! You suffer a lot! It is not becaus you are suffering that anybody is looking down on you! It is not because your husband left (up to now!) that everybody leaves you! I do not know you and I offered you to God in my prayers!

Talk to your priest, please! He is not like your husband!

And I will pray for his return!

Please talk to your priest. Make an appointment and talk to him. Believe me, he has heard it all. There is nothing you will tell him he hasn’t already heard. Get your spiritual ‘ducks in a row’ by going to confession, talk to your parish priest, and prepare to move forward for your children’s as well as your own, lives. I wish you the best. May God bless you and guide you.

I don’t think your priest would look down on you. I think he would be glad to help and you would feel alot better. Good luck and God bless you. I’ll pray for you and your children.
