Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We have some issues that have come up with our extended family that are going to strain things with my husband's family for the foreseeable future. Dh and I have some decisions to make about how we will deal with all this. He hates this kind of thing and tends to just want to cut all ties with most of his family, which, considering the circumstances is pretty close to where we're headed for the sake of our children's souls.
In the short run there are some things we will need to discuss with our older children, things that pain my mother's heart greatly to have to talk to them about but need to in order to protect them.
Please pray that we find the right words, that we are charitable in all things, and make the appropriate decisions and my dh be filled with grace and strength.

Maria, I'm praying for you and your dh that the best decision is made for the blessing of your family and that it can happen in the most effective and charitable way possible.
