>>>I can use some prayer action right now. My sister's getting off drugs,
>>>which takes time. She has to take liquid methadone in order to fight off
>>>the cravings. Recently, she made a major slip, but she's okay, now. Well,
>>>Shirley, the aunt whom I live with these days is constantly downing her,
>>>she's downing me, for being young at heart, and well, when those two
>>>argue, I just don't try to talk. I know I should defend Jenny when she's
>>>right, and Shirley or anyone else, when she's wrong, but I'm thinking of
>>>the Word when it says be slow to speak, and quick to listen. Shirley's so
>>>judgmental, critical, and pure hateful sometimes. I just feel I've
>>>outgrown her. It's like wearing shoes that are twenty or thirty sizes too
>>>small. Ok, I know, you'd have to have a big foot, if you actually had
>>>shoes that were that many sizes too small, but you get my point here. Do
>>>you see what I'm up against here? I've lived with her for eleven years,
>>>and while we get along most of the time, she's sometimes downright
>>>self-righteous, holier than thou, judgmental, conniving, vendictive,
>>>critical, condescending, condemnatory, accusational, and well, just
>>>ruthless sometimes. Please pray, like you've never prayed before. If
>>>anything, it only makes me long for Jesus to come, more than I was
>>>already. At least there'll be no criticism in Heaven, and Jesus is the
>>>only judge, thank God. I just don't know any more. It's a mess, not to
>>>mention a losing battle. There's just no pleasing her. I seriously
>>>believe she doesn't have any more compassion left in her for my sister. I
>>>know that's a cruel thing to say, but she had Jenny in tears, for
>>>goodness sake. I just don't know how to deal with this anymore. It's like
>>>I'm playing both sides against the middle. It's a litteral tug of war.
>>>When I want to go home with Jenny and spend time with her, Shirley always
>>>finds things against it. Ok, granted, Jenny doesn't have a license, and
>>>granted, if she sped, or if anything was wrong with the car, like a
>>>headlight, or a taillight, possibly, she'd be pulled over, and if they
>>>took her into custody, I'd need to call someone to pick me up. Shirley
>>>thinks they'd either throw me in jail with her, or I'd just be taken to a
>>>home, or somewhere, till she or someone else could pick me up. Now, why
>>>would they want to put an innocent and totally blind passenger in jail?
>>>I'm not the one who's being pulled over. It makes no sense that she'd
>>>think that, but then again, I don't know. She may be right, on this one,
>>>or well, I just don't know how to live with her anymore. She's really
>>>ticking me off!
