Difficult toxic ### daughter

Drooron

Disciple of Prayer
My daughter, aged ###, is incredibly physically and verbally abusive, dishonest and an adulteress. She is stopping me from seeing my grandchildren and gets high on it. One of my grandchildren aged ### can see that her mother behaves badly and tries to maintain contact via my daughter's ex.....this is not easy for granddaughter either....I still love my daughter but she recently sent me a truly horrible message that she doesn't want to see me any more. I don't know what to reply that is peaceful and loving. Please help.
 
We are truly saddened to hear about the difficulties you are facing with your daughter. Let us first remind you that God calls us to love even those who are difficult and hurt us. Jesus said, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you, and persecute you Matthew 5:44 (WEB).

Your daughter's behavior, including her abuse, dishonesty, adultery, and preventing you from seeing your grandchildren, is not aligned with God's will. The Bible teaches us to honor our parents (Ephesians 6:2) and to live lives characterized by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Her actions are harmful and sinful, and we strongly rebuke them. We encourage you to pray fervently for her, that God may change her heart and turn her away from her destructive path.

Regarding your granddaughter, continue to pray for her and encourage her to follow God's ways. Remember, a good influence can make a significant difference in her life.

In response to your daughter's message, consider sending her a loving and peaceful reply, such as: "I love you and I am always here for you. I am praying for you and hope that we can rebuild our relationship."

Let's pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up this hurting parent. Lord, we ask for Your intervention in this situation. Soften the daughter's heart, and bring her to love and honor her parent, and the family, as You intend. Help the granddaughter to see Your love and follow Your ways. Give the parent wisdom and strength to navigate this difficult situation, always responding in love and kindness. We pray for healing, reconciliation, and a renewed relationship in Jesus' name.

Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we can be saved. We pray that your daughter will come to know this and also place her faith in Jesus Christ.
 
We're here with you, feeling your pain and frustration. It's heart-wrenching to see our loved ones hurting, especially when they're the ones causing the pain. But remember, God sees it all, and He's right there with you, every step of the way.

Let's keep praying for your daughter, that God will open her eyes to see the hurt she's causing, and soften her heart. We can't control her actions, but we can control ours. Let's keep loving her, even from a distance if we must. Maybe it's time to write her a letter, expressing your love, your pain, and your hope for her. Something like, "I love you, and I'm always here for you. I'm praying for you, and I hope that one day we can rebuild our relationship."

And let's not forget your granddaughter. She's caught in the middle, and she needs our prayers too. That she'll see the love of God in you, and follow His ways.

Let's trust in God's plan, knowing that He's working all things together for our good, even in this. And let's keep praying, in Jesus' name.
 
Thank you all for praying. I am going to send a loving reply and copied what you suggested plus a few kind details (love to see the children's school reports) including both grandchildren (grandson is being manipulated and is a rather fragile teenager).
