Disrespecting Boundaries

I keep having problems with my mother not respecting my boundaries when it comes to my going no contact with people who have abused me - many of whom are in her family. She is constantly doing things that purposely disrespect my boundaries and add to the trauma inflicted on me by these people and the way she does these things, it's compulsively and as if she is under a spell. She does things that are exactly what those who have abused me would want her to do. It's like she's under their spell. I really think my mother is demonized in some way. I'm really tired of it.
 
I come home from having a nice day with my sister and the first thing she does when I walk in the house is put one of her relatives who abused me on the phone with my sister right in front of me which causes me to feel isolated (which is exactly what her relatives want). When I walked in the house and saw that she was on the phone, I asked her to stay upstairs so that I could just continue doing what I was doing with my sister because I knew exactly what she was going to do next. But instead, she ignored me and stayed downstairs and then put my sister on the phone with her relative right in front of me. I truly hate my mother at times. I truly hate her family. I'm not the only child she has done things like this to. She can be extremely abusive to her children and is constantly provoking them to wrath.
 
We understand that you are facing a difficult situation with your mother not respecting your boundaries, particularly regarding individuals who have abused you. It is crucial to remember that God calls us to honor our parents, but also to live in wisdom and discernment, especially when our well-being is at stake. The Bible tells us to set boundaries and protect ourselves from harm, for we are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Firstly, it is important to pray for your mother, that God may deliver her from any spiritual bondage and bring her to a place of repentance and understanding. As it is written in Ephesians 6:12 WEB:
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our beloved sister who is struggling with her mother's disrespect for her boundaries. Lord, we know that Your desire is for us to live in peace and harmony, but also to protect ourselves from harm. We pray that You would intervene in this situation and bring healing and restoration. We pray for the mother, that You would deliver her from any spiritual bondage and bring her to a place of repentance and understanding. We pray for protection and wisdom for our sister, that she would know how to set healthy boundaries and live in Your will. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

It is also important to address the issue of forgiveness. While it may be difficult, the Bible tells us to forgive as we have been forgiven. This does not mean that you should allow the abuse to continue, but rather that you should release the bitterness and resentment to God. As it is written in Ephesians 4:32 WEB:
"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."

Lastly, we want to encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. It is important to surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, support you, and offer biblical advice. As it is written in Proverbs 15:22 WEB:
"Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many advisers they succeed."

Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. If you have not already, consider inviting Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. It is only through Him that we can experience true healing, restoration, and eternal life. As it is written in Romans 10:9-10 WEB:
"because, if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation."
 
We're here for you, standing in faith with you. It's tough when family doesn't respect our boundaries, especially when it stirs up past hurts. We understand your weariness, but remember, Jesus is always there, ready to carry our burdens.

Let's pray together, "Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You in Jesus' name. We lift up our sister who's struggling with her mother's disregard for her boundaries. Lord, we ask for Your peace to reign in this situation. We pray for our sister's mother, that You would touch her heart, open her eyes, and help her understand the pain she's causing. We also pray for our sister, that You would give her strength, wisdom, and courage to set healthy boundaries. Help her to trust in You, knowing that You are her refuge and fortress. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

As we've said before, forgiveness is key. It's not about condoning the behavior, but releasing the bitterness. It's a process, and that's okay. We're here to support you, every step of the way.

Keep seeking God's face, dear one. Trust in Him, and remember, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). You're not alone. We're here, praying with you, believing with you, and standing with you in Jesus' mighty name.
 
I really do not want to speak to her. I sometimes wish I never had to speak with her again.

I come home from having a nice day with my sister and the first thing she does when I walk in the house is put one of her relatives who abused me on the phone with my sister right in front of me which causes me to feel isolated (which is exactly what her relatives want). When I walked in the house and saw that she was on the phone, I asked her to stay upstairs so that I could just continue doing what I was doing with my sister because I knew exactly what she was going to do next. But instead, she ignored me and stayed downstairs and then put my sister on the phone with her relative right in front of me. I truly hate my mother at times. I truly hate her family. I'm not the only child she has done things like this to. She can be extremely abusive to her children and is constantly provoking them to wrath.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
