[__ Prayer __] Pray for my Family

[Luminous_Rose]

I had a day that had kind of unexpected happenings. Not for the better. I feel like my relationship with my family could hang in the balance here...extremely concerned. I am not sure of the right thing to do.

Please pray that my relationship with my parents will stay strong and that God would guide me in what to do regarding other family members as I can't step out blind without His guidance.

Thank you.

My relationships are all gone with extended family. One by one they were recruited and turned on us for money. But I had to go back to basics on prioritizing my relationships and differentiating my core relationships from others such as extended family or friends or neighbors or acquaintances. Since all my personal boundaries were violated from childhood up until my early adulthood, I had only vague reference points to try and re-establish proper boundaries and how to functionally relate to others according to where they fell in my newly constructed relationship/boundary diagram.
To cut it short. I never let ANYONE tamper with my marriage, be it parent, child, sibling. I never let parents or siblings tamper with my parental relationship with my kids. Every family member outside my spouse/kids is extended family. I always choose my spouse/kids over the rest. Your parents/siblings are still core relationships and hurt deeply when those relationships are threatened or even end, but your priority is to husband/kids.
