Needless to say, such a statement hurt my feelings.
Are you grown? Why does this hurt your feelings?

Re: Witnessing to Lost Family Members

Perhaps I didn't explain the comment my biological mother made clearly enough, less you all wouldn't have been so sarcastic with your replies, or that's what I'm telling myself.

My relationship with my mother has been unhealthy for the past 10 years or longer. When she and my father divorced, she went off the rails. She paraded multiple men in front of men, moved them in with us, and when she remarried (for the first of two times since my father), she married a drug addict that didn't like me and who despised my father. This man got very angry at my father and he kicked me out of his house. My mother subsequently packed up my things and told my father to come and get them. All this happened while I was at school, and within a few days, my mother and her husband had packed up and moved to his home state of Indiana. They had a terrible marriage and they've since divorced.

My mother loves selfishly. She doesn't like my bonus mom (i.e. stepmom) or ma (mother-in-law) at all. She fakes it and then talks horribly about them behind their backs, sometimes to me.

Anyway, what I'm getting at is my mother hasn't done right by me in years and what she said earlier this year was like the cherry on the top of a perfect relationship, so to speak.

We've spoken very little since.

Re: Witnessing to Lost Family Members

Sounds like there’s little to nothing of a relationship to salvage. Pray for her. You can’t do much else.

Lest I be accused of being serious...

All you can do is pray for her.
