Hello everyone. It's been a bit .This year has been an absolute nightmare for my family and it seems like the gates of hell have opened up in every way they can. These are basically the main points:
My grandfather:
(Previous post Please pray for my grandfather)
After the amputation, my grandfather seemed to have been doing well. His health was stable, but the issues between him and my uncle were still ongoing (particularly involving ownership of the house). There was another side to this where my father's cousin and Aunt were just deciding to get involved now too. They didn't have a good relationship with my grandfather before this. It turns out the two have them have been behind the scenes manipulating my grandfather for the sake of his money/house as well. They've put it in his head that they were the ones who saved him during the operation, not the Lord Jesus Christ. They've also been lying and deliberately keeping information from us concerning what's been going on up there. My parents tried to warn my grandfather that they are playing him. My father's cousin even wants to go so far as moving in with him after rehab (just like my uncle's girlfriend had). But he wasn't willing to listen. There's a lot more involved in this, particularly with how he has been treating my father and the past hurt he's caused him. But the best way I can summarize this, is my grandfather has no problem betraying his only son for the sake of anyone else. He hasn't made any real attempt to try and reconcile with him either. So things are at the point where there's been basically no communication, and my grandfather refuses to pick up the phone/email with any updates. He moved back to the old house (spiritually contaminated by sexual sin as it is) instead of a new house this aunt/cousin had promised. Things are a mess.
My mother:
Without getting into it too much, my mother had a traumatic childhood with her parents. They hurt her in ways I can't express. But their communication stopped after she started to fight against their abuse. Her siblings knew about everything that went on, but still defend her parents. It turns out my mother's father passed away (the one who is the most responsible for what occurred) and no one had the decency of telling her. Her mother appears to have sold their house, disconnected their phone number and disappeared entirely. But she is dealing with the heartache of abandonment/ not having closure with any of this. She's prayed many years for their salvation and it hurts her to know this is the path they have chosen.
My own baggage:
I'm honestly at the point where I feel like walking away from God. I know that both of my parents are hurting deeply and it's hard to see. There's so much going on already, without my own battles being added on too. I've lost "friends" who I thought of like younger siblings, had a continual fight with USPS over theft/retaliation, trauma from my prodigal sister that keeps coming out and overall just constant anxiety. It feels like I've been crying out to God for so long and He just doesn't care. I know things don't have to go my/our ways but you get to the point where the darkness is too much. The enemy is getting over time and time again (at least on this end). I'm just really tired.
Sorry for the long post. Please pray for us.
