Is it sinful pride?

Is it sinful pride to want to be accepted as a mother and grandmother by my grown child, and to feel extremely hurt when my grown child rejects me?

No.
It is just a fact.
My condolences on your loss.

Not everyone you love, will love you back.
Find new folks to love: volunteer at an orphanage or food bank.
Or old folks home !
The people of this world are as hungry for love as you are.

Greetings, Robbin.

Feeling pain and hurt is not a sin. The only thing Scripture teaches is that you seek to put away the pain and hurt as quickly as possible, think on positive things, and seek to forgive so that there is no bitterness. It's a form of affliction (emotional), but the Lord promises that he will reward the faithful who endure affliction gracefully when all is said and done.

Blessings in Christ, and welcome to our forum

Hi RockinRobin and welcome to CF

No, it is not sinful pride to want to be close to your children. If you have done all you can do to reconcile with your child and they still reject you then all you can do is love them and pray that they will return to you again. Praying for you and your child

Hello sister. I have pain in my life also. I seldomly talk to my family. They have different fervent beliefs. I study sound doctrine and repent every day. I can't compromise my values and beliefs. Unfortunately, I keep distance from them. 1 Corinthians chapter 5. I wrote you not to associate with anyone so called brother if he is immoral person, or covetness, or idolater, or revilier or drunkards or swindler. Philippians 4:7. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. We have Jesus to fill that void in our lives. We know Jesus is merciful God and loves us. All peace comes from God. I hope this helps you. Peace.

Hi RockinRobin

I think that more information is needed. Were you a bad parent? If so, then it may be asking too much of them to respect you in such a way. Is your hurt genuine in that it is a wrongful condemnation? I mean, if you were a difficult parent in some way that caused them to reject who you are, then yes, you should expect that they will not respect you in the way that you feel you deserve to be treated. And what about that? Are you feeling bad because 'you' don't think you're being treated as you should? Keep in mind that in the Kingdom of God, it isn't all about me.

Like I say, there's a lot more information needed to provide a quality response to your query.

Hi again RockinRobin

Also, if I may just point out, this thread is not for discussion of issues and topics. Perhaps one of the moderators can find a suitable thread for your issue. Basically here in the 'new member' thread people just introduce themselves by name and perhaps say a few words about themselves.
