You might recall reading on my blog that I have issues with my mother also. To keep myself from going completely off my nut, I've had to put distance, figuratively and literally, between myself and my mother. I've always had this terrible guilt because the way I feel about my mother is not exactly honoring her, as we are commanded to do. I've concluded that I can be a dutiful daughter; she'll always have her needs met, but I will not allow her to use me as a doormat any longer. For instance, the last time I made the ten hour round trip to visit her, I scarcely got in the door when she left to go play bingo. Ouch! Now I don't make the trip any longer, a weekly phone call will suffice, and the last time I called she pretended to be losing her voice so she couldn't talk. She was mad at me for not calling at 11 on the dot as I usually do. Really it's all I can tolerate of her at the moment. So you see, you're not the only one with less-than-wonderful mother. Isn't Mother's Day the most depressing day of the year, when you read all those wonderful tributes that everyone writes about their loving mothers? Anyway, for years I tried to figure out why she acted the way she did. But I'm tired of making excuses for her bad behavior. What I've concluded is that the devil puts obstacles in our path, even ones in the form of a cold, cantankerous mother! So now I look at it as just another challenge to prove myself to Him, by being civil to her. Sorry about the long-winded comment! Keep your chin up kiddo!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-26832063280754336282012-08-25T15:18:10.558-04:002012-08-25T15:18:10.558-04:00I am trying the "respond" method.

It is hard to ignore the hurt and the response that comes. When this happens to me I do my best to just focus on God and how He feels about me. God loves you so very much and He sees the amazing person you are. Focus on that, the more you look at Jesus the easier it will be for you to not become so hurt. <br /><br />(((Hugs)))<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-83551952955916569412012-08-25T11:34:20.937-04:002012-08-25T11:34:20.937-04:00I am trying the "respond" method.

One wonders why some have a loving relationship with their parent while others have a constant battle. <br />I am glad to know that He is in control and He will bring good out of it. The Joy of the Lord is my Strength!
