I hate my life. I really do.

I am 30 years old and treated as a child by my stepmother. Nothing I do is right. I cannot make a move without this woman pouncing on me. I live in Bedlam.

I have no friends. I am all alone.

There is nowhere for me to go.

I hate my life.

It may be a sin to ask God to take me, but I really wish he would.

:hug: I've said the second part of your post to myself and to God many times in the past. There were times when I would pray he just take me even in my sinfulness just to end my misery. If you ever feel like coming to the city, I'll buy you a cup of coffee and we can hang out and talk.

I'm sorry for this difficulty - these things can get so tangled ...
I can only say to let this untangle with prayer,
and ask Panagia to pray for you; I will.

:hug:

Thank you!

I'll keep praying! (((HUGS)))

Thanks!

Do you have any chant CDs you can listen to during these times?

Music helps to calm the soul.

Maybe if you play it loud enough, your stepmom will get the message too.

Yes, I do have chant, however the volume of music is another issue...

I am welcome here as long as my presence of being here is not felt. In other words I should just lock myself in my room and not touch anything outside of my room or make my presence known. It makes for a very uncomfortable stay.

hang in there. i'm going through a hard time right now too :hug:

Thanks! Hugs & Prayers for you! :hug: :crosseo:

never despair! trust in Jesus! pray for our Lord to soften your mother figure's heart.

suffering? loneliness? our Lord felt it too! share it with Him- He longs for company in His Passion. let this be a way to deepen your relationship with Him. dear sister if you have Jesus you can never be lonely!

I am praying for you. Heart of Jesus, have mercy.

you know once you have His love- and you do- it's all you need.

standing with you at Jesus' sweet cross,
your brother Jonathan

You might try getting a job. I mean, having some place where you have to go and where you can socialize with other people might really help you, even if they're only co-workers.

A good suggestion, but probably that one is easier said than done at this point. I've been trying to find a part time job while my shoulder heals for just something to do until I'm able to play again. Even the fast food places are laying people off.

I know how you feel! I'm also in a dark tunnel at the moment, with no light at the end... and every time there seems to be a glimmer of hope it's soon extinguished.
We gotta hang in there!You're in my prayers! :hug:

These dark times hurt - and we wonder when they will come to an end .

Life is never static :(

Prayers that you find your way out of this .

Having said that - at times like these prayer becomes hard , my prayer life is still not what it should be . All I can do , and do, is ask for mercy - for myself , for those around me and leave it in His hands.

My SF and another priest [ who is helping me enormously ] just keep reinforcing this.

I have been busy and I regret never taking a break to visit with you all.... :(

Maureen know that the hope of our Lord is with you all the way. I know how you feel living at home and all (been there done that) .... But you need to keep positive and focused. Take your worries to your prayer... and to Him. May the ever Virgin Theotokos always protect you. God never abandons his sheep....
