There is a lot of spiritual warfare going on in my life right now, and I believe this is a season where the enemy is really on the prowl in my life and in the lives of my family. In addition to the emotional turmoil that I've been experiencing in coming to terms with my abusive and neglectful parents, several members of my family have been facing attack. I can't really say whether they are saved or not, but I can tell you that none (except for my mom) are pursuing a relationship with God.
1) My step-grandfather is very old and very sick--cancer (He is mormon.)
2) My brother (32) is in a lot of pain. The doctors havebeen unable to diagnose it thus far, but he is unable to work or drive.
3) My mom was just in the hospital with diverticulitis. That is improving, but she is also, diabetic, depressed, anxious, and has severe asthma. And those are just the physical problems.
4) My dad had a liver transplant about 2 years ago. He's been having fainting spells since and they cannot diagnose the problem. He recently got some tests back and his cancer markers are up. (He is mormon.)
5) My mom's cousin was recently murdered. The best guess is that a lot of small town gossip led to some accusations and that's why he was killed.
6) My cousin (28) and aunt (42) are applying for disability for emotional issues and there is a lot of judgement in my family towards them. One was involuntarily 5150'd and another just had a bad panic attack.
7) One aunt tried to kill herself recently.
8) Another aunt has a partially collapsed lung and is getting geared up to have her gall bladder removed.
9) As I've been in counseling, I've come to suspect that most of the members of my family suffer from PTSD due to childhood incest and other sexual abuse.
10) I am currently dealing with my own childhood incest, sexual abuse, and rape issues. I'm trying to come to terms with my parents actually being bad parents since most of my life I've dimished it.
