Hi everyone , I am married to a non believer, who has a daughter but doesn’t live with us. Met her when she was 4. Her mother passed away, when she was 8 and now she’s 10 years old. She lives with her grandmother.
She’s hours away and we make an effort to go see her multiple times a year. Before her mother passing, she wasn’t allowed to use her phone, but we had a good relationship. After her mother passed away she is now always on her phone. Yet our relationship changed and no matter how much I try I always receive rejection from her. I understand the loss of her mother is painful, I have tried to be supportive and I make a greater effort than my husband does. So I resent him for not being the father she deserves but I also resent her rejection as she has other female figures in her life who she considers a mother. Not trying to reach out to her is painful to me but her rejection also hurts me. How do I avoid feeling resentment towards this situation. Please guide me or pray for me so that God can fill me with wisdom. I don’t want to have any roots of selfishness, sourness or resentment in me.
