Hi dear @Faith-and-Hope and beautiful dear @Bubbles3,
I feel so ignored, my mother and daughter are sadly estranged from me and ignoring me. I have no family except an aunt who calls me everyday. I know I have Jesus, but life is short and I think it is foolish of family to betray and desert me. I don't deserve this. I mentioned my mother has been abusing me verbally for years and now my mother and daughter are being mean to me. Telling me I'm delusional and that my mother has never abused me, which is falsehood. I showed my lawyer my mother's e-mails and she said she is vicious. I could show the police her text message to me, which was mean and abusive -it said ' Go to hell where u belong', and ' Get lost' and ' what sort of a mother are you'. All mean, condescending words to me, when I've been a good mother, but my mother tries to put me down for having had a mental illness at 26 after my brother was sadly killed and my baby born. My mother was on an anti depressant, and confided she felt like murdering her hubby in bed and he had to hold her so tightly'. She said it was just a side effect of the drug, wish I could have taped all that she said that was bad for years.

At present I'm meditating on God's love for me and learning all His scriptures pertaining to that. It is true, Jesus has a mother's heart. There are a few scriptures that refer to God and metaphors describing His maternal love for us. Par example, Psalm 91:4. A mother bird sheltering and protecting His young chicks under his feathered wings.
Have a good evening lovely faith and hope.. I'm up with the owl birds lol.

Good morning @BambiFawn .... 💕
I fell asleep early last night (our time) before responding to your post. I am sorry to hear you have been through so much that hurts with your mother and daughter. Hopefully your scripture studies are helping to ease that pain, and you can hold them to the light in prayer ..... it's what I do with people who hurt me, along with those I love.
Its cloudy and cold again here this morning. That can make for a lovely walk. First light is dawning now, and I am starting to hear birds greeting it.
