I am a 15 year old named Leah and i ask that somone please pray for me to forgive and left go of the grudge i have been holding against my sister for wayy too long. shes 28 and has made a TON of bad decisions that has effected everyone dramticly. I cry and throw fits at night when i think about her. I used to have a pic of her by my bed of the last good memory ive had with her that i can remeber but i threw that away. Also to give me the courage to tell my parents about how much she has hurt me. shes currently in prison and rehab in a different state, leaving her 4 kids behind. 3 with her ex boyfriend and 1 got adopted. Please pray for me, i cant do it by myself. God Bless

May the grace of the lord be with you in ur strive leah

First of all: Welcome to PC.

Leah, I'm really sorry about what's happened. How is the rest of your family coping? I suggest seeing a T(herapist) together would help all of you..

Write a letter to her, make it as long as you want, say whatever, and see if she can get that letter. If not, let your family read it, I wouldn't be surprised if they felt the same way. Leave it on a table so they can see it, you don't have to give it to them directly..

Leah, you need the strength to move on. Your sister did what she did, but you still have the chance to blossom.. ((((((((((((Leah)))))))))))))))

Take care, and I'll say a prayer for you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks guys, it really means a lot that i can talk to someone and get the help i need. somtimes you need more than friends. but i dont think im ready, my mom has it hard enough dealing with Jenny (my sis) and if i start complaining it will make it harder. I once over heard my mom talking to my older brother about how she almost couldnt take it anymore and almost checked herself into Pine Rest. My family already has a lot going on and i dont wanna make it worse. time heals all wounds... right?

Anyone who chooses to kneel before God, can stand alone against any evil. It's very difficult to let go of anything that hurts anyone as much as this is hurting you. You must constantly look forward and never dwell on the past. Yesterday is dead, and you can not relive it. Live for today and sieze the moment, for tomorrow is not promised! The pain you feel right now will eventually have to pass. When it does, you will be much stronger. Never forget that if God is with you, no one can be against you.
Love eternally, Siegfried.

Balla, if all of this recently happened, then I'm sure things are hectic right now. Hang tight, because things will get better! You're right, time heals all wounds..let the drama die down a little and life will be a little rough, but much smoother..
Take some time and do something nice for yourself, anything to get you away from life for a little while..

still in my thoughts and prayers...

I decided that it was finally time to tell my parents what i was feeling so i wrote a letter to my mom and I put it in her purse before she went to work. It feels good to tell them but i talked to my dad and he said that my mom was balling her eyes out cause she felt so bad and felt like she hasnt been doing a good job parenting. Wehn she gets home ill talk to her. I would like to thank all of your support and prayers, speacial thanks to "opaquemind0 for thier understanding and making me open my eyes. thanks again! im ready to forgive all who have hurt me

Sending big hugs and prayers to you to find that inner strenght to forgive your sister, her actions and behavior, and to help you heal a broken heart with all that she has put your through. You are sisters forever, that will never change, and no matter how life deals your cards, never turn your back on each other. I know this is so hard for you, God knows your pain and suffering.

Thanks Balla!!

And good job, I'm really proud of you!!
It takes a lot to talk to a parent, but I'm really glad that you just took the initiative and talked to them/wrote a note. GOOD FOR YOU!!

Take care

My prayers go out to you Balla! Forgiveness can be extremely hard ( I know cause I have alot of unforgiveness towards people in my life). However I always try to remember unforgiveness harms me not the person I have a grudge against... forgiveness can be so liberating and reconciliation can be a direct consequence because of it. So I pray that you can recieve the strenght to forgive and that things can be sorted out between you and your sister.

Hello everyone! Its been almost over 3 years since I posted this. Im 18 now and will be 19 in May, I almost feel ashamed to say it and admit it, but Im still dragging my feet about this situation with my sister and her decisions. I haven't seen her in years and sadly I was ok with that because I didn't wanna get close and get hurt by her again. She's been in and out of prison since then. Shes currently on probation but it ends next month, My parents told me her and her new husband are coming to live WITH us next month.

My world is spinning and im not ready for all of this. Ive been sweeping under the rug for years and im slowly unraveling and having a really hard time getting a grip on all of this. I used to cut as a 15 year old when I first joined but thankfully, I haven't since then. I have taken pills for no reason, just hoping for something to fix me and fill the feelings I have within me. I need to rely on God and know that He has a plan and that everything is going to be ok. Just gotta keep telling my self that and move forward. Prayers please?

Let go of your own Anger. Your sister is now in the hands of the state as in immate. She is now out of your life. Get on with your own well being now.

(((Balla))) Big hugs and prayers.

I pray for you

[MudCrab]

I shall pray.

[Mark56]

Prayers offered as asked along with prayer and hope you will come to know time alone cannot heal all things. Forgiveness can go far in helping with the healing. Seeking intercession in faith and hope all will be well also helps promote healing. Openness in communication within the family, if the family members will be receptive, is nearly always a step toward healing.

May grace and peace overflow you,
Mark56
