Down In The Dumpers Lately...

As for the MIL thingy - it keeps coming back up. So, much for letting that one go. I was bound to revisit the "undying love for mommy" issue ASAP, especially when it was topped off by my husband's beloved Catholic Priest who decided to rudely dis-invite me from partaking in Holy Communion last Sunday b/c I'm Baptist (as he put it). How's that for feeling dejected and unloved for the second time in a week? I can't rush to the freezer quick enough after this one. I've taken Communion in this church for over a year - and he just saw me coming up last Sunday!?

I won't even mention that my husband and I just had a "get to know each other" meeting with Mr. Priest about a month ago where we talked about communion and how sacred it is to me...as a BAPTIST! He could've told me then that I wasn't welcome to receive communion to my face, or even when he emailed me a week later to ask me to further explain my belief! Can anyone say flaming mad! No, Mr. Priest has to embarass me and whisper for me to "read the bulletin" as he hands me a wafer.  

I was so hurt b/c not only do I feel uncomfortable going back to my husband's church...I'm also uncomfortable with his mother and how she feels about me and my children. Of course you know this spirals me into a sobbing pitty party about how nothing is going right and how unhappy I am about alot of stuff.

Try to talk to hubby and why? I am so not feeling the love around here. No reciprocity for my troubles. Hubby sides with MIL and Mr. Priest.

Sad...just very sad lately. Oh my, I hear those violins again. Can someone get me my plane ticket to nowhere, a box of Kleenex, and a pint of chocolate chunk brownie fudge ice cream please.........!

  • Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry! And you have been such a comfort and encouragement to ME this week. All I can say is, God knows your heart, and no priest or condemnation from a judgmental bystander (MIL)can take that away from you. I know how it feels to want to take part in communion in Mass, but not be able to because I also am a baptist married into a Catholic family. It's the heart, not the ritual that counts. Hold your head up and know that your desire to please the Lord is what is most important. I'll be lifting you up in my prayers.
