I will, in her eyes, (and possible other family members) be "disappointing the hopes or expectations of a daughter; I will be thought to be disloyal; and I will disclose in violation of her confidence- this life long secret."<br /><br />I need her to get the medical help that she needs, but does not know or think she needs. I am not sure how much the medical profession can help her since she is 82 and has never gotten professional help for her psychological problems- and there are many. I feel like I am deserting her, but I need to protect the people I love including my family. <br /><br />It will be a difficult Easter, but maybe hearing about Jesus' crucifixion will help me during this difficult journey. <br /><br />TeacherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-58868861304207142112011-04-20T20:08:16.875-04:002011-04-20T20:08:16.875-04:00you said, "this is not for every taste"-...you said, "this is not for every taste"- <br />I would take that a step further and say, it is not for ANY taste, AT FIRST, BUT THEN, it is for EVERY taste-<br /><br />thank you for this- I need so much help with, well, lots of things, but especially with things of my faith...<br />this is just one of the things that really helped me to FEEL and reflect and pray...<br />and that is just not easy to do (for me)<br />you are so right that "the piece does not leave us in Judas' despair or our own misery- it takes us beyond to the consolation of the One who takes our sins away..."<br />I felt this.<br /><br />Thank you for your words here.michellenoreply@blogger.com
