Beloved of All
My mother has had a severely negative influence on my life. I had the opportunity to get a restraining order against her when I was married and my life was stable, but I didn't have the heart to do it. Now I recognize that not doing that was one of the worst decisions of my life. While I was married, my mother tracked down my address and appeared at my place several times even though I told her not to do it again the first time. She called my husband without my permission, tracking down his number and tried to persuade him to tell me to come home. At the time, I was perfectly healthy, but my mother's abuse contributed to my mental decline. I don't feel that I have the opportunity to get the restraining order anymore, because I got separated from my husband due to experiencing psychosis and was later divorced by him. Financially, I'm only just beginning to be able to live on my own and have dependence on my parents as a safety net, because they didn't raise me to be able to be independent. Once I was separated from my husband, my mom was responsible for putting me in hospitalization against my will twice. I have lived with my mom the past year and a half due to fear of her hospitalizing me against my will again and am finally on my own. My mother purposefully emotionally and mentally abuses me and has always tried to exert extreme control over my life. Every time she has an influence on my life, I feel as though I experience severely bad fortune and all the blessings I have received are wiped away and I have to start over. My marriage was perfectly happy and stable before she got involved. She wouldn't have known that I was even in a relationship, but she found out because my father told her without my permission (my parents are divorced). Often times I will feel under demonic attack and then minutes later my mom will call me. Please pray for my marriage to be restored and for me to be able to be in a position to get a restraining order against my mother again.
