coping with mother's mental health problems
I've requested prayer several times for/about my mom's mental health issues. It is now to the point that not only are her symptoms/behaviors worse, her issues have also completely taken over my life. It's too complicated for me to explain it all, but even my prayer time is affected. I have a very long list of people & situations that I want to pray for, instead I either spend my time praying for/about her or I have to endure her constant interruptions while I'm trying to pray or have to listen to her make fun of me & make assumptions about how I pray or what I pray about. She's impossible to please. If I try to do my chores, she gets mad b/c I'm either not paying attention to her or I'm "in her way." When she forces me to stop, she then gets angry & accuses me of not doing anything. That's just one example. The verbal abuse is almost constant & she's always trying to make my dad or me upset. The stress is so bad, that there are days that I think I'm having a stroke. She complains b/c I'm not married, but she won't let me date (I'm almost 38). She also thinks I should date men SHE finds attractive. The men I've been interested in have always been clean cut, decent, Christian men. Her attitude is that b/c she doesn't like tall men, then I shouldn't date them even though I like tall men. It's very difficult dealing w/ her silly rules like that & her odd "hang ups." I just need God's intervention desperately. I'm sorry for the long rambling request. It's hard for me to explain the situation succinctly.

RE: coping with mother's mental health problems
Precious Jesus, put a boldness in this guest to stand for herself. Precious Jesus, bind satan from this guest. Lord, I pray that this mother be healed of this mental issue. Lord, I pray that this guest will have a hedge of protection about her. Lord, lift her up. Lord, I pray that she will always be found serving You. Lord, I ask in Your name,Jesus, that this burden be lifted. Amen.
Psalm 121:1-2 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. (KJV Holy BIBLE)
