Hey everyone...

Thank you for your prayers.

Last night, I was really struggling. I cannot talk to my mom about my struggles because her answer is "put them in school." So, I send them to school and end up working at the school - why not homeschool with that time? I, also, drew a boundary line with my sister 1.5 weeks ago and she's not talking to me...same with my mother-in-law.

I am trying to just recognize that this life is the Cross. What will this all matter in Heaven? It is better to suffer now than later!

So, I guess what I'm saying is maybe we should pray for my family. Dh's family is away from the Church and my family is the cafeteria type.

I think for now, the less contact the better. I'm busy here. I need to be supported and not torn down.

Thanks everyone!

Maria,

I can't even believe this. I am in shock. That first paragraph....is ME....I did the same thing with my sister.... and the pain is so great/feel SO alone...are we soul-sisters or what?

Believe me, lady, I will pray for your family to St. Monica. Will you pray for mine? Mine is pretty similar to yours, but really on my side: nothing.    On one side is non-believers and a liberal-minded Catholic and on the other side, radical Society of St. Pius X! And EVERYONE is divorced and fractured! (I know you know about *that*). So I'm with you in spirit and praying. We need to be there for each other.

May God lift the Cross a little today...

Maria, I understand and I am praying.

I have similar issues and the boundaries can't stop us praying, right?

Praying for you all. Now - go and do something fun with your dc.
