A Prayer for My Brother and My Parents!

[jayne]

I am with sweet....If you will PM me with his name I will add him to the church prayer chain tonight.....as always you and yours are on mine

Still, I don't want to go into detail, But for more info, Google MRSA,,,,, This may be what is going on with your brother.

The Mayo Clinic has a very good site.

My prayers are with all of you ....Still !

Include my husband & I, for only claiming one of his 2 sisters, and disclaiming his dead mother, and 4 nephews who committed the ultimate betrayal to their son, brother, & Uncle ,... My hubby his middle sister, and me. Some things can never be forgiven. I have found that the older i get, the more I discover there are many other families out there in the same situation. One cannot feel guilty of their actions or non actions, if treated less than what a family member should..... we are supposedly family, equals, and therefore should be treated that way.
I judge you NOT, and never will!
Prayers, Lilly

Thanks All! Tuffy, I have Read up on that, I just Hope it wasn't Caught too Late, and He ends up Living with Permanent Damage, but I Think that's going to be the Case!! I Hope You are All Well, and Thanks Again for All of Your Well Wishes!!

I had 2 sisters like that...and felt I owed neither of them nothing they had hurt my family and to me the ultimit betrayal is to inflict harm to someone I love....their drugs and harmful behavior was just to much for me.......it wasnt till I looked at the dead face of one of my sisters and felt the deep pain and knew I could never,never fix it ever.... I never made their mistakes I worked took care of my kids and theirs and they were both fools....funny it just doesnt matter when you look at their dead faces and hear the pain in your parents sobs it hurts and it hurts deep inside where nothing can fix it.....Do what you can to make amends cuz when they are gone you just cant.....its a hurt so deep knowing you can never never fix it ever.....I am not ever gonna be friends with my remaining sister the betrayal goes to deep,but she knows I love her I just dont like her.......I will do anything to keep her safe and fed and in her nursing home.....But I dont want her in my home.....but if they day comes I have to look at here dead face I will know I did every thing I could....I cant say that about the other one

Sometimes the other person does not want to be a part of you. As in my case with my mother. I have tried and tried . I have done everything I could for her. I have apologized when I was right. It makes no difference. She does not extend herself at all. I cannot beg someone to like, love or even just be civil and polite and non-hurtful to me. Jayne I think we are talking about different situations here and all of ours are just that....different. I have forgiven her and pray everyday for her good health, happines and safety BUT I cannot make her like or love me. It took me over 50 years to realize that. In some cases there is nothing that can be done. Maybe in Limbo's case there is. God bless.

I hope your eyes are getting better.

I didnt say make em like you....I said do everything you can to not have to be sorry you didnt do more if and when something happens to them....Your Mom is your mom and Gods commands we show them respect....love and honor.....his commandments are sometimes very hard.....it no where says we must make them love us......the hardest thing I have to do is love and honor sometimes.....But Jesus loved and honored those that nailed him to a cross he asked his father for their forgivness...and he askes the same of us......My eyes are not getting better the right one is painful all the time......but it may be because I am constantly moving the eyeball back and forth trying to move the floater so I can see......I go back to the doc in late March...in the meantime I use eye drops and a cold wash cloth to cool it.....thank you for asking....

Hello Everyone and as Usual, Thanks for the Great Responses and Prayers and Thoughts. I Really sat Down and Thought about what All of You have Said, and as I Said Before I wasn't always a Great Christian but try and be a Good Person, but I did ask God For Guidance, and I did Call My Brother Yesterday and Today!! We only Spoke Briefly, and if He Pulls Through this I know We will go Right Back to not Talking to Each Other Again, and He will Continue His Manipulative Ways, but I needed to do this for My Mom and Dad, to give them a bit of Peace! Even though they Totally Understand and Hold no Ill Will Towards Me for the Way I feel about My Brother, I felt I had to Re-Pay the Forgiveness they had given Me by Calling Him. The Staph has Reached and Effected His Heart, We found Out for Sure Today, hopefully it's Something that can Be Controlled. Thank You All for being My Sounding Board and My Friends, My God the Big Shoulders on Here are Amazing!! It's with ALL of Your Thoughts and Opinions I found what I think was the Right Path, I know it will Bear No Fruit for My Brother and My Relationship in the Future, But it Sure makes Mom and Dad Happier, and that's what Counts!! I Hope You are All Well, Thanks Again, and Enjoy Your Weekends!!

You know Jayne..no matter how hard I try you always see something wrong with what I have said or just plain didn't understand it. I don't dishonor my mother. I have done exactly as the Lord has asked. SHE hasn't, SHE is the one who wants nothing to do with me. SHE only wanted to have my sister. I have never explained the whole story so please, please try not to push me away AGAIN. You are very judgemental and seem to push your feelings and beliefs on others. That's who you are and I accept that. I really wish you could accept others although they are different. When my mother passes I will have a clear conscience. I was just giving another viewpoint in that not all relationships CAN be rectified no matter how hard or how much one of the two gives. There are always two sides to every story. You seem to have a very one-tracked mind. I am so surprised since you are so well educated and world traveled that you don't accept others opinions a little more freely.

Sorry Limbo... I will stay clear of this post. Pleas know that I am still thinking about you and praying for you and yours and that God helps you to do what is best for YOU>

Tuffy...... I have tried and tried. There is so much going on in my life right now that I feel the need to stay away again. Jayne has a bone up her ass with my name on it and I just can't stand the judgemental attitiude that everything she believes is right and those who don't believe as she does are wrong. I doubt Florida will happen for me and Hubby. There's too much animosity here. I would be very uncomfortable. Better I stay away.
