I pray for these spammers--that they would come to know the truth of Jesus who can set them free from the occult and demonic practices of spell casting. And I pray that they would stop placing their testimonials on sites simply to make money and mislead people. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Both my MIL and myself get along very much. She praises me for all the things I do. I take care of her (not only physical support but also financial). My husband is still a momma' s boy. I am ok with that too as long as he loves me very much. But one thing I cannot take is she provokes my husband that my parents are not good. Now we have a no-talking relationship b/w my parents and my husband. I love my parents too and this really hurts me a lot. My MIL hurts me with soft words which I cannot complain or point fingers at.NeedHelphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027932657051780098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-40074211121121482592013-12-02T00:02:34.962-05:002013-12-02T00:02:34.962-05:00Dear Tonya,

I was only 19 years old and as I have come to realize didn't give her a chance. We both said and did things that were very hurtful. O forgave, but she never has. We get along most of the time but when I say or do something she doesn't like she always brings the past back up and throws it in my face. I have tried and tried to right my wrongs with her but nothing ever changes. I hope this blog will help me repair our relationship. I do really love and care about her.

All within 6 months. We were are newlyweds who have been married for two years. She has recovered physically but the family went through a harrowing time dealing with the loss and my mother in laws new state of dependency on us to take care of her. It has been challenging for my husband and myself to say the least, it seems to get harder as time goes by, her neediness is almost suffocating and it is compounded by depression and a complete lack of zeal for life. I haven't given up though, and will look at the series. <br /><br />Sam-amy<br />JamaicaSamantha Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974189252010863587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-80766180445104832682013-01-06T19:26:17.070-05:002013-01-06T19:26:17.070-05:00Thanks.

I've been a DIL for 3 years and I took a long time to learn how to be humble and to let go, my head was full of the 'liberated woman' thingy even though I thought of myself as a 'righteous' Christian.<br />Christian Daughter-in-laws are in a unique position to be a light unto the world. Don't believe the lies around you. By honoring we are honored by our husbands, by our children when they are older, even by other unrelated on lookers. In my case, I had to ask Jesus to heal my wounded spirit first, to help me stop hurting from past hurts and to be willing to engage again. <br /><br />For MILs who are hurting, please be patient. Don't add to the injury by hitting out yourself. Your DIL will come around if you pray consistently and are loving, because 'God is a God of Restoration'(as my MIL said when I fought with her last year).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-12318138597717748302012-07-27T10:18:04.942-04:002012-07-27T10:18:04.942-04:00I have a wonderful mother-in-law and a fairly good...I have a wonderful mother-in-law and a fairly good relationship with her but your post has been used to convict me of lack of pursing that relationship to make it even better!

My ...I'm looking forward to your series, Gail! My MIL has contempt for my husband and being that my loyalty is to him....well, let's just say I keep my mouth shut A LOT! Right after we got married and were leaving for our honeymoon, my husband asked his mom if she could keep our wedding cake in her fridge because we were going to eat it when we got back (we weren't going to save it for our 1 year anniversary, like tradition.) Anyways, when we got back and came to pick up our cake she said it was so good that she couldn't help herself and she ate the whole thing. I was mortified! I couldn't believe she had zero respect for us and I felt so unaccepted by her. When she hurts my feelings or has zero care to be a grandma to my boys my heart hurts, but my husband is always reminding me that she is a selfish person. It's hard. I didn't come from a Christian family but my husband did. She is a Christian woman who's involved in ministry and such but her heart doesn't spill over into our family. So glad to hear you're sharing on this topic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147587637685491099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-986279342808490642012-06-25T17:32:45.222-04:002012-06-25T17:32:45.222-04:00The title of your post drew me in.
