Prayer and Praise Wall

Im 49 yrs old. I have been a Christian all my life. I was getting ready to head back home for Christmas, making plans, getting wrapping paper yesterday to wrap presents this weekend. My son wouldnt tell me who was going to pick him up at the airport and I was worried because my brother said he was going ask other family members to make a long story short my mother brought up my past mistakes, AGAIN, ripping open old wounds again, 17 years later. Every chance she gets she hurts me right when I finally feel like a part of the family again and my defences are down she attacks me. Now my brother is mad at me, my son hates me, again, and my mom says she loves me but she keeps doing this. I am not going home now. I have blocked them on my phone so that only my daughter can contact me. Im tired of this constant fight with my mother who worked for social services and stole my children from me. I wasnt a drinker, still am not. I dont and didnt do drugs. My mistake was marrying the wrong man and leaving my children with my mom while I moved out of state with him to ensure they would be safe. The marriage lasted all of 6 months. My daughter was only 4, my son 13. My mother lied in court and said she didnt know where I was and I abandoned my children. I called the DA and told him I couldnt make the 3 month hearing and if we could have a couple more months. He failed to disclose this to the court and in only 3 months my mother was given permanent guardianship. She would not let me have my daughter back until she didnt want to deal with her as a teen. Then she would interfere constantly until my daughter went back with her again. She wont stop hurting me with this and bringing it up all the time. I pray there is a reason I have been made to go through all this for almost 20 years now. I cant tell you what it is like to have your family turned against you because of your "loving" mother.
