Oh friend, I am so sorry. And I think you asked the perfect question, “What does love look like for her?” It doesn’t mean it will be easy, but I pray that He grants you great wisdom with that relationship. With much love.

This season it has hit an ultimate painful stage. She lived with our family up until this past fall, when detention centers and now a psychiatric hospital separates us. I battle with making the call, having the visit, because they are always filled with hatred and evil. Hate words, profanity and the rejection of Christ is spewed all over the place. I leave shaking, crying not sure what is gripping my heart more anger, hurt, fear…perhaps all and more. I left this relationship at the feet of Christ a few months ago, after messing it up and holding on to it for nearly 10 years. I still cry out, God do I have to call? Do you want me to call? Am I obeying you? Is this my cross? What does love look like for her? Ultimtely I want to obey and love our might,deserving God, but this love hurts. This is my biggest battle with my flesh and my mind this season.
