Question: i was an unwanted child and my mother continually cursed me. i have been advised by a priest not to stay with her she has destroyed my faith with her wicked ways
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Newton: I am sorry to hear about the relationship with your mother. The 4th Commandment admonishes us to honor our parents, but that precept does not envision abuse of a parent. We are not required to tolerate abuse from our parents. In some extreme situations it may be prudent for the emotional or physical health of the child to separate entirely from the parents. From what you are saying, and from what the priest advised you who knows more about your situation than I do, it sounds to me that separation from your mother is prudent. You probably ought to follow your priest's advice. I understand that the emotional abuse you expereinced may have shaken your understand of God and challenged your faith, but you need to make some decisions to reconcile yourself with your faith. If getting your mother out of your life is what is required to do this, then you may need to do that. I would also recommend that you pray the prayer in our Catalog linked below on Breaking Curses, and also Renouncing Ancestral Sins, and also the Hedge Prayer of Protection. I do know that you wish to renew your faith because you have posted this. You can renew your faith. Get away from your mother, if that is what is needed, then make the decisions you need to make to renew your faith and grow in intimacy with God. God loves you, Newton. Rest in his arms. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page. We suggest that before contacting us directly for help you try the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance.
