I'm so sorry you are going through this. You are a strong person for walking away. My husband always says "You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family". ❤
Well said Grace! Let Go And Let God. There is nothing better than having peace in your life. Your Grandmother know that you love her. God knows your heart ❤
I'm so sorry you are going through this I lost my grandmother in July to dementia and she raised me also so I no how you feel because my family is so very toxic and I have pretty much cut all ties with them love your channel you are a very beautiful soul gods got this❤
You have to forgive her for your sanity… you don’t have to say it to her but you can forgive her in your heart so you won’t be bitter because it will make you bitter…you are not a crappy grand daughter.. she knows you love her… and you are right to let it go… and I have heard this saying… Let Them… and let it be…and be the better person….. you don’t have to talk to her…and don’t answer her phone call…I will be in prayer for you and your sweet family… let this drama go and give it all to God!!! Love your channel this is why I started mine…because life is short so we all need a little fun!!
I'm so sorry, that you are going through this . When my mom got dementia my step sisters tried kicking her out of her home, tried taking all her money we went through hell on earth, and I truly know they caused her dementia to rapidly cause her demise from all the stress ....my heart goes to you❤ prayers and hugs Sarah . God knows all and sees all and one day your grandmother's justice will come for her God sees it all .... remain sweet and pray spend time in God's word
So sorry, been in a similar situation with people who I loved then and still do. That is the problem, isn’t it? The love never actually leaves and I was the one left with a hole in my heart but life goes on and so did I. Please, take care of yourself and I will pray for you to find some peace in your life and heart.♥️
So sorry you are having to go through all of this. I’m glad you have this outlet to vent it out. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts. Sending you hugs from Michigan. ❤❤❤
Your grandmother knows & feels the love you have placed in her heart. That will never be taken from her. I'm sorry you can't see her anymore. Its selfish of your aunt to deprive her own mother time with the grandchildren she loves.
First off, please know that you make SO MUCH sense, girl!! SO MUCH! I get you! You may be venting, but you vent eloquently. I am sincerely so sorry to hear about what you're going through. That's such a heart retching situation for anyone to have in their life when it comes to their loved ones and toxic family members. I've been there myself, and have had to make similar hard decisions for the sake of my sanity. It's so difficult to cut those ties but you're worth it, you matter, and you have all the right to protect your mental health when it's in danger. Grief is such a difficult beast to tame and you're right, we never do get over grieving a loved one, or even something lost, something we never had to begin with, or those 'what-if' questions that swirl in your head from time to time. Jamie Anderson said it beautifully, “Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. -- Grief is just love, with no place to go.” You speak so beautifully, you give me chills and I'd be lying if I said I haven't teared up during this video. I'm sappy like that lol.. Please know that you're loved right back, and I'm proud of you for putting you, your mental health, and good heart first because that's how it needs to be. You're a strong woman and you deserve to have your peace. Much love to you and yours and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hey Sara, I am so sorry you have had to go through this, your grandma knows that you love her ❤ God knows all that you are going through and He will give you the strength and courage to walk through this!! I love you girl, I will be praying for you 🙏🏻 keep your head up and look to him!!❤
Hey girly. Those of us who get it, understand it. Your mamaw is the last tie to your daddy. She holds a special place for that reason alone. Right now with all that you have been through in the last year, protecting your peace is most important! You have to protect your own heart and mind first. I always think of the Serenity Prayer when I’m dealing with toxic family members: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference” ❤❤❤ You are doing the best you can with the cards you have been dealt. Let all the negative emotions go and fill them with all the good and happy memories you shared with your mamaw and your daddy. She knows how much you love her, that is not something anyone can take away ever! ❤❤❤❤ Sending Big Hugs to you
Sweetie, you and I have a lot in common where family is concerned. I lost my dad to dementia on 10/12/19. He never forgot me. Your grandmother may forget many things and people in her mind but not her heart. A heart never forgets. I too had to walk away from some immediate family members to save myself, sanity and rid myself of anger and hatred I held inside. It took time to get here, to this place where I can truly admit that the hate doesn’t overwhelm and consume me. I can feel the love I’ve always had and will have for my dad again and it’s not overshadowed by anger and bitterness. You are doing what is right not only for you, but for the ones who genuinely love you. Those that really care, love and wholeheartedly matter! The more you rid your heart from the anger and hate, the more that space is filled with the love of our Savior Jesus Christ. Your cup will overflow into your son and husband with blessing after blessing. I’m asking for peace, understanding, forgiveness, protection, guidance, patience, grace and most of all… LOVE ❤️ I pray for you in Jesus’ almighty name 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I am praying one day I will be able to release the hate and bitterness. I find comfort in knowing if you did, then it is possible. Thanks for being here 🩶
@@EverydayGrace. Hi Sarah Grace, I'm so sad for what you are feeling. Wondering if you see a therapist that she /he could help you through these things. I had the most wonderful therapist who really helped me,and showed me how to say things to my daughter in law in a less accusatory way. she helped me save our relationship! I'm praying for you. Oh, exercise like walking or dancing really can help as well. Love your channel Suzanne in Virginia
I love you sweetie. Love your channel. So glad I found you. ❤ Been following for awhile now. You're doing the right thing. I've had to cut family out of my life as well.. after my Aunt died and no one told us until we visited the family grave and there she was buried 4 months prior. I personally can't stand people for the most part and that is a prime example of why. I cannot stand toxic people, is truly what I should say. Stay strong. Love your content. Love this channel. This too shall pass and you will feel better in time. ❤
Is your aunt also toxic in the manner that your grandmother’s care is at risk? I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You’re too young to carry this much pain. Steady prayers ❤
I know how you're feeling and whenever you say the word "toxic" it tells me exactly who the problem is, "Mr. Talk Sick" himself, the enemies son. Hearing and seeing evil has been both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand I got to see and hear exactly what the enemy has been doing to me my whole life and it is disturbing he's gotten away with this much. But on the other hand your life is never the same, I have become a witness to the unseen world, the world our Lord is fighting against. From the smallest little details, the enemy made my dad always treat me like I'm not good enough or like in your case your aunt always saying something to you and you can just never do anything right according to her. I've also been blamed for things I've never done, it just amazes me how these things even came out of his mouth. This is the enemy who's definitely been infiltrating in your life and you are going through a season. I went through my own season of horrible despair and feeling completely left out while all my brothers and sisters got property, money, their names in a will, cars, eye surgery and I got nothing. That was depressing because I'm the best child and I knew I was being picked on by the devil's little horn. Just remember the Lord went through a lot of suffering and there's not a second of the day I've been through since my own personal tribulations that I think he's feeling fine. I think the Lord is still suffering for this world and all the sins of the evil army and what they do to the children. You can never be the best God in all creation unless you comprehend the sufferings of your children and that's why I believe he is still suffering. I believe he goes through tribulations every moment of our lives just to understand our sufferings and redeem us. I'm really sorry to hear all this bad news and I subscribed to your channel so I can keep up to date with you. I also live in Texas so just know I'm near😊.
Just want you to know I will be praying for you! I'm sure you know that with God on your side nothing is impossible! We love you! Please take care and stay safe❤️🙏
Sweetie…… I 100% know how you feel. You are doing the right thing in my opinion. I’m sure your grandmother KNOWS that you love her. You ARE NOT a bad granddaughter. You have been through so so much…. I’m sure way more than we know. You are such a wonderful person. Remember…. What comes around goes around. I’m sending you all the love in the world.
Grace, your Aunt is the one that will have to answer to God in way she did what she did & remember you will see your Grandma one day in Heaven. And your Grandma will realize what her daughter did & your Aunt will have to answer to her own Mother why she did the things that she did. I am a true believer that what goes around comes around, it may take time, but it always comes back. You have no regrets & I am sure you Grandma will always love you & who knows she may drive your Aunt crazy in asking where's Grace & where's all your sisters. That would be what your Aunt would deserve because I would love to be a fly on the wall to know what your Aunt's answer would be. Stay strong & take care of yourself & your Family.
The best place to leave it all is in the hands of God. He can work out things. I pray her gives you peace in this struggle. I’m sure your Grandmother knows you love her.
Sweet Sarah, you love so deeply, and I’m guessing it takes a ton of being hurt before you step back and set boundaries for yourself. It’s ok for you to feel this way, and you don’t owe anyone apologies or explanations. It is ok for you to step away now. You’ll want to remember your Grandma the way things were, before your dad died, and your aunt took charge. Your Grandma will want to remember you that way also. Don’t live in regret, because you know in your heart you have done all you could. You cannot go back to that place in your head that you told us all about. Remember your son and your husband need you to stay. That is what is most important right now. Bitter people will take you down with them, so that they have company. You are in my prayers. Trust and Lean, because God has got you. “In peace I will lay down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety” Psalm 4:8
You are doing the right thing I have a sister whom was the same as your aunt! Still is after both parents gone I do not hate but I do stay away and do not speak to her at all!
Oh Sara, what a huge act of love you are showing your mamaw, and the Lord knows that .Your aunt will be reaping the ugly that she is sowing, and it won't be pretty. Keep holding your head up and know that we, your viewers, are here for you. God bless you.
What I am seeing n here Grace is what your aunt is doing is considered elder abuse and can be jailed for it in from Canada and that is not something shed get away with it happened to my late mother in law her bf and his son stole money from her she was a senior he could of been charged and put in jail but my husbands family didn't want to put mom in a lot of drama so he got away with it it also happened to my mother and went after the person got most of her money back but not all of it Do not let her get away with it you and your sisters should see a lawyer just to see what your options are you need to protect memaw from her she isn't entitled to anything from what your dad had
I know this is going to sound odd, pray bless and do good to your enemy. You will be surprised what good will come out of it this is spoken of in Matthew 5:44 . I was wrongly fired from a job, and every morning when I would get in to shower hateful thought would fill my mind about co-workers and my old boss, once I started doing Matt 5:44 all the ugly thought stopped. I would pray for all's salvation, health , wealth , family, home and what ever else I could think of. This Works. Cast all your grandmother cares to the Lord He will take care of her. Father I come to you in Jesus name, I bind up to the strong man off this family. I plunder his goods and cast him to the pit in Jesus name. I ask Holy Spirit to fill up all in family full and overflowing. I lift up the aunt to you lord I ask you would soften her towards all the girls, give her wisdom on how to care for grandma let her treat all like she wants to be treated. I ask peace that surpassed all understanding to fill this family also fill them up with joy, in Jesus name I ask amen.
Even though she has power of Attorney that has nothing to do with visitation to see your grandma. I would seek the advice of a Attorney who specializes in elder senior care family law.
You aren't alone. A healing trainwreck here too. I also had to walk away from family because of the drama and toxicity, only to be made "the bad guy" through their lies and manipulation. I will always choose to stand alone in truth rather than cower with the group founded on lies! A person can only take so much. Rest easy knowing you did your best and give the rest to God. Thinking of you
Girl! All of the drama is so exhausting, pray for your Aunt because she comes off as a selfish,coldhearted little piece of work.I feel your pain,we are struggling with the death of my FIL...I took care of him for years,while his other son wouldn't even call him.He passed on July 3rd and my BIL was already calling,telling us to sell dads house,because he wants his half of the money,he has no feelings, we close on my dads house on Sept 27th,after that we will never see him,his hiefer wife or thier kids,I cant wait....God has this!
One day a a time sweetie! Your Grandma knows you love her… I know she loves you as well ! The Truth is you are now going to love your Grandma and remember her as she was! (Before her dementia takes over ) In my experience with people with dementia they are not themselves. Sending thoughts and prayers your way ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 You got this ! You are Strong! Gods got you !

I am so sorry for everything you are going through. I admire. your strength, I too have had the roughest two years with loss, divorce, moving completely away from all I know and at my age (61) I don't feel the strongest. I wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best in everything life has to offer xoxo
I am going to say a prayer over your life. Know that you are needed in this world. I've come to learn sometimes God wipes the slate clean In order to mould your life to what his will is for you.
I feel for you. I had to let go of toxic family and as hard as it was it was the best decision for me. It’s been a little over a year now and the drama is gone and my life is calm now and less stressful. It’s a shame that family members act the way they do but it is what it is. I’ve moved on and am happier now. It’s hard now but you will find peace and I pray that you can move on and be happy. ❤
Sweetie! I so get what you are saying. I had to let my brother go because he was so toxic for me! I prayed so.hard that God woukd make a relationship between us it got a firm answer , I believe from God to leave it alone, and he had this. So, for my sanity, I had to let it go. Trust me it is not easy bit continued prayer has been my answer. Do what is best for you! That is my only answer! Gid Bless!
I’ve been through something similar after the death of my mom . I don’t have a relationship with my older son now . But once I made the decision to be done with him it was a load off my shoulders and I’m at peace now I think you made the right decision praying for you ❤️🙏🏻
Sweetheart, don't YOU forget that YOU are God's child, too! I went thru a similar situation but with my own sisters years ago when momma had Alzheimer's. I was accused of horrible things and even called a devil! But, God has worked things out for HIS glory! And He will do the same for you. It may not happen real soon, but God will make everything right for you! Don't give up, keep praying, keep trusting in God, and have faith in Him! Remember, God works all things out for the good of those who love Him! (Romans 8:28) Hugs & blessings from VA! 🙏❤️🩹😔
We ARE The Lord Jesus Christ's people, the broken, the wretched, the poor, the outcasts, press into Jesus Christ lady Grace, for it is Christ alone & Him crucified that will get everyone of us through. Yes! it's a season dear sister, we MUST be patient & wait on The Lord, Seek The Lord & ALL will turn out the way it's meant to, for our betterment & FOR HIS GLORY, it ain't about religion it's about having a relationship with our Father, knowing His heart through The Holy Scriptures & The Holy Spirit, Fathers timing is perfect, ours is not. God bless you sister from a little farm in QLD Australia.
I don’t usually post comments, but I have seen first hand how money/property brings out the ugliness in people. You are right to step away from negative people no matter how much it hurts. You need to look and concentrate on the good things in your life, your immediate family, your siblings, and your faith ❤
Hey it’s good to vent even if it’s on UA-cam. These difficult times happen in everyone’s life. Remember there is always something to be thankful, blessed and happy about. Sometimes you have to over look things and just be happy. Maybe write your Aunt a letter saying your peace and then move on for your own health and sake. Unfortunately we can’t always fix everything when it comes to family. You stay strong and stay blessed and remember you have to answer to yourself and God if you believe.❤
Dear Sarah grace. You are hurting and feeling very defeated and deflated among other feelings. By giving it all over to God This is the best thing you could have ever done. Speak to your pastor and read the Bible regularly and absorb its teachings. Gain some insight and knowledge and wisdom from it. Prayers are always heard. This will have closure someday and in his time not yours. God knows your heart and your intentions and you will have peace when God plans for it. I will definitely pray for you during this difficult period of life. Please do all you can to make time for yourself and your time with the Lord. You’re a very strong woman and very level headed person for your age. You have much wisdom and always seem to consider all sides of the situation before you make any decisions. My heart breaks for you and the hurt you have. Sometimes just speaking out about stuff makes you feel better it’s cathartic. Take care of yourself. So proud of you. The pain will be there but it will subside over time. God has your heart and will guide you girl. Prayers 🙏
I just want to hug you. I feel like we could be friends and chat for hours. I have a very toxic mil. I too lost my dad. I am so sorry for the stress you are going through. Your Aunt sounds like a control freak....pray, pray and pray some more.😊
Grace , I am so sorry that you are going through so much. Things like this happen way too much when people pass away. It’s so important to have a will to make sure things are done legally. I went through something similar when my mother died. It’s best to close the doors to the toxic family members. You need to get your peace back.
Oh Sarah, I am so sorry that you are going through this! I can’t imagine why anyone couldn’t get along with you but God knows and sees your heart and your pain. I’m a grandmother and can’t imagine not seeing my granddaughters. I’m not even going to guess why but I will pray for your peace about this situation. You stay close to your Jesus, your husband and your sisters. I believe in prayer and I will pray for your aunt to soften her heart and grip on her mother and have a complete turnaround about all this.
You have to let it go. They own piece of mind and spirit It won’t serve you and you have your own family that loves you and and knows your heart. Let the Lord deal with your aunt. I know it’s easier said than done, but we all have to go through testing in this life. Sending prayers for you and your family.
I fully understand I have and am living it cut all communication off with all but one brother one sister passed! You hold a special Blessed place in my heart love you
I am so sorry that this happened to you. God is with you, and he will help get you through this. You are the bigger person to choose to walk away and give this to God. Keep praying, you are loved for your honesty and the love you have for your faith.
Oh my word. I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine what you are going through. I’m so glad you have let it go for your sake and your mental health. She knows you love her and that’s all that matters. Your aunt can’t take that away from you
I took care of my Mom with dementia for 3 yrs your aunt is going to beg you for help . Mom got up in middle of night keeping my sister awake had to go over to help her seeing kids in middle of night , pooping her self talking to boyfriends not easy let her take responsibility let it go. ❤
beautiful sarah grace.... my heart broke for you watching this..... i understand everything you said...... so much i could say to you but i will keep it short and say this....... im a train wreck like you and i would in a heart beat jump on your train so you wasnt alone.... and im right there with you and for you....... you are a beautiful human being....... i just wanted you to know that 🤗 and pray your closure will get softer with time 🙏
Oh Sarah, I’m so sorry you are going through this. You can’t let toxic people break you down to their level. God made you better than that. Cherish the memories you have with your grandmother and you know she wouldn’t want this to happen, but when toxic people get involved it makes the situation even worse. The good Lord sees all and will deal with it, you just have to keep the faith and peace will come. God will deal with this, just don’t let it bring you down. Just know I’m praying for you. I hope you have a very peaceful and blessed night! ❤️🙏
Oh Sarah, I’m so sorry you are going through this. You can’t let toxic people break you down to their level. God made you better than that. I hope you have a peaceful blessed night ❤️
What is your aunt so afraid I meant did your grandmother will you everything and she's pissed about it or is she afraid that you are going to find out she changed the will no body acts that possessively over an elderly person and there is not something undermining going on I know this for a fact.
My Aunt has full control over the will and she won't let us see it. We've asked. It is another thing I could fight her over. But I honestly don't have any fight left in me. When I cut ties I let go of all of it. I have my dad's thing, and my sisters. That's all I need.
Sarah, thank you for sharing. I always look forward to all your videos. I will keep sending prayers and hugs. Keep leaning on Jesus and let him guide you. Know that your mammaw may have Dementia and one day forget people. She will always love you in her heart. She knows you have tried and that you love her. She also can sense the toxic situation and would not want you to continue to be rejected and accused of thing that are beyond ur control . You are amazing, and I am proud of you Sarah. You keep trusting in the Lord and he will give u strength & understanding to get u through this valley in ur life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❣️💜💜💜❤️ know we are always here for u.
You had a wonderful gift of having your grandma for years as a healthy minded person. And you are showing maturity by setting boundaries with your Aunt , all in the name of self preservation. Galatians 5:22 talks about the fruit of the spirit. You can only control yourself and ask the Lord to help you live out those fruits. Check the scripture out. You can bless your grandma in other ways , God will show you. I am proud of you for doing what is right for you and your mental health. 💜✝️🙏🏻💜
Sweetie. You must do what you know is best for you. You have your own family to care for. Be kind to yourself and know you have done as much as you could to make things work with your aunt. Just keep sending love and light to your grandmother. It takes a lot of courage to take the steps to protect yourself and say goodbye to toxic people, especially in your case. I am sending you lots of love. Know in your heart that this is the only way to make your life better. I wish you lots of luck. Take it day by day.
Praying for you. You are right. Grief is never gone. It still cones in waves for me but God... He is always always with you even if you don't feel Him at this particular time. But take it from me, He loves you so very very much and will NEVER leave you or forsake you. Sending Prayers and love your way.
Honey no we’re not getting tired of listening to you my family is horrible and once my Daddy passed it got worse 8 kids and you can’t trust any of them to tell the truth and talk behind my back so I move to another state could not take any more!
I'm sorry what you going thru..I pray that you stay strong Cause God has this .. Remember people will have to Answer for things they done.. God will help you sweetie put it in his hands..And remember you have all of us your viewers which you can call me a friend ..❤❤
I was very close to my grandmother as well. I was in a somewhat similar situation. Grieve her now even though she is physically still here. Don't feel ANY guilt. Cherish all your wonderful memories of her. Her mind may forget but her heart will never forget you. This will not be goodbye when her time comes but an "I''ll see you later". You will see her again one day in Heaven. You are right by going no contact with your aunt. The LORD will help you with your feelings about her once you give yourself and Jesus time to heal your heart. This is a season in the desert for you but with God this trial will make you stronger. Just always keep your eyes on Jesus and never look away. Many blessings to you Sarah.
Dementia sucks honey hold the good times to your heart. And live your best life that she and your Dad would want you too. Hugs family sucks sometimes too
I have 4 different family members who all have homes in walking distance. Things went on involving the family farm. The result we do not talk to most of them and I am at peace with it.
I'm so sorry you are going through this. You are a strong person for walking away. My husband always says "You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family". ❤
God's got you girl. Continued prayers for you and your family
Well said Grace! Let Go And Let God. There is nothing better than having peace in your life. Your Grandmother know that you love her. God knows your heart ❤
I'm so sorry you are going through this I lost my grandmother in July to dementia and she raised me also so I no how you feel because my family is so very toxic and I have pretty much cut all ties with them love your channel you are a very beautiful soul gods got this❤
I'm sorry for your loss. I pray for peace over your situation too 🩷
You have to forgive her for your sanity… you don’t have to say it to her but you can forgive her in your heart so you won’t be bitter because it will make you bitter…you are not a crappy grand daughter.. she knows you love her… and you are right to let it go… and I have heard this saying… Let Them… and let it be…and be the better person….. you don’t have to talk to her…and don’t answer her phone call…I will be in prayer for you and your sweet family… let this drama go and give it all to God!!! Love your channel this is why I started mine…because life is short so we all need a little fun!!
I'm so sorry, that you are going through this . When my mom got dementia my step sisters tried kicking her out of her home, tried taking all her money we went through hell on earth, and I truly know they caused her dementia to rapidly cause her demise from all the stress ....my heart goes to you❤ prayers and hugs Sarah . God knows all and sees all and one day your grandmother's justice will come for her God sees it all .... remain sweet and pray spend time in God's word
So sorry, been in a similar situation with people who I loved then and still do. That is the problem, isn’t it? The love never actually leaves and I was the one left with a hole in my heart but life goes on and so did I. Please, take care of yourself and I will pray for you to find some peace in your life and heart.♥️
So sorry you are having to go through all of this. I’m glad you have this outlet to vent it out. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts. Sending you hugs from Michigan. ❤❤❤
Your grandmother knows & feels the love you have placed in her heart. That will never be taken from her. I'm sorry you can't see her anymore. Its selfish of your aunt to deprive her own mother time with the grandchildren she loves.
First off, please know that you make SO MUCH sense, girl!! SO MUCH! I get you! You may be venting, but you vent eloquently. I am sincerely so sorry to hear about what you're going through. That's such a heart retching situation for anyone to have in their life when it comes to their loved ones and toxic family members. I've been there myself, and have had to make similar hard decisions for the sake of my sanity. It's so difficult to cut those ties but you're worth it, you matter, and you have all the right to protect your mental health when it's in danger.
Grief is such a difficult beast to tame and you're right, we never do get over grieving a loved one, or even something lost, something we never had to begin with, or those 'what-if' questions that swirl in your head from time to time. Jamie Anderson said it beautifully,
“Grief, I've learned, is really just love.
It's all the love you want to give, but cannot.
All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes,
the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest.
-- Grief is just love, with no place to go.”
You speak so beautifully, you give me chills and I'd be lying if I said I haven't teared up during this video. I'm sappy like that lol.. Please know that you're loved right back, and I'm proud of you for putting you, your mental health, and good heart first because that's how it needs to be. You're a strong woman and you deserve to have your peace. Much love to you and yours and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I absolutely love that quote. Thank you for your kind words 🩷
Hey Sara, I am so sorry you have had to go through this, your grandma knows that you love her ❤ God knows all that you are going through and He will give you the strength and courage to walk through this!! I love you girl, I will be praying for you 🙏🏻 keep your head up and look to him!!❤
My mom passed last year took a lot out of my sisters and myself 😂
@@KarenTaylor-k3o so sorry for your loss 🥲
Aww girl, I am so sorry you are going through this. Yes, give it to God. That's all we can do through our situations. Take care❤
Hey girly. Those of us who get it, understand it. Your mamaw is the last tie to your daddy. She holds a special place for that reason alone. Right now with all that you have been through in the last year, protecting your peace is most important! You have to protect your own heart and mind first. I always think of the Serenity Prayer when I’m dealing with toxic family members: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference” ❤❤❤ You are doing the best you can with the cards you have been dealt. Let all the negative emotions go and fill them with all the good and happy memories you shared with your mamaw and your daddy. She knows how much you love her, that is not something anyone can take away ever! ❤❤❤❤ Sending Big Hugs to you
Praying God makes her heart soft and more loving
Sweetie, you and I have a lot in common where family is concerned. I lost my dad to dementia on 10/12/19. He never forgot me. Your grandmother may forget many things and people in her mind but not her heart. A heart never forgets.
I too had to walk away from some immediate family members to save myself, sanity and rid myself of anger and hatred I held inside. It took time to get here, to this place where I can truly admit that the hate doesn’t overwhelm and consume me. I can feel the love I’ve always had and will have for my dad again and it’s not overshadowed by anger and bitterness.
You are doing what is right not only for you, but for the ones who genuinely love you. Those that really care, love and wholeheartedly matter! The more you rid your heart from the anger and hate, the more that space is filled with the love of our Savior Jesus Christ. Your cup will overflow into your son and husband with blessing after blessing.
I’m asking for peace, understanding, forgiveness, protection, guidance, patience, grace and most of all… LOVE ❤️ I pray for you in Jesus’ almighty name 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I am praying one day I will be able to release the hate and bitterness. I find comfort in knowing if you did, then it is possible.
Thanks for being here 🩶
@@EverydayGrace. Hi Sarah Grace, I'm so sad for what you are feeling. Wondering if you see a therapist that she /he could help you through these things. I had the most wonderful therapist who really helped me,and showed me how to say things to my daughter in law in a less accusatory way.
she helped me save our relationship! I'm praying for you. Oh, exercise like walking or dancing really can help as well. Love your channel Suzanne in Virginia
I love you sweetie. Love your channel. So glad I found you. ❤ Been following for awhile now. You're doing the right thing. I've had to cut family out of my life as well.. after my Aunt died and no one told us until we visited the family grave and there she was buried 4 months prior. I personally can't stand people for the most part and that is a prime example of why. I cannot stand toxic people, is truly what I should say. Stay strong. Love your content. Love this channel. This too shall pass and you will feel better in time. ❤
Is your aunt also toxic in the manner that your grandmother’s care is at risk?
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You’re too young to carry this much pain. Steady prayers ❤
Call Adult protective services. It sounds like your Aunt is manipulating your Grandmother. Nothing good can come from her isolating your Grandmother.
I know how you're feeling and whenever you say the word "toxic" it tells me exactly who the problem is, "Mr. Talk Sick" himself, the enemies son. Hearing and seeing evil has been both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand I got to see and hear exactly what the enemy has been doing to me my whole life and it is disturbing he's gotten away with this much. But on the other hand your life is never the same, I have become a witness to the unseen world, the world our Lord is fighting against. From the smallest little details, the enemy made my dad always treat me like I'm not good enough or like in your case your aunt always saying something to you and you can just never do anything right according to her. I've also been blamed for things I've never done, it just amazes me how these things even came out of his mouth. This is the enemy who's definitely been infiltrating in your life and you are going through a season. I went through my own season of horrible despair and feeling completely left out while all my brothers and sisters got property, money, their names in a will, cars, eye surgery and I got nothing. That was depressing because I'm the best child and I knew I was being picked on by the devil's little horn. Just remember the Lord went through a lot of suffering and there's not a second of the day I've been through since my own personal tribulations that I think he's feeling fine. I think the Lord is still suffering for this world and all the sins of the evil army and what they do to the children. You can never be the best God in all creation unless you comprehend the sufferings of your children and that's why I believe he is still suffering. I believe he goes through tribulations every moment of our lives just to understand our sufferings and redeem us. I'm really sorry to hear all this bad news and I subscribed to your channel so I can keep up to date with you. I also live in Texas so just know I'm near😊.
Just want you to know I will be praying for you! I'm sure you know that with God on your side nothing is impossible! We love you! Please take care and stay safe❤️🙏
Keep going, your heart is in the right place. You are strong and appreciated by us... I believe you are doing the best for all.
Sweetie…… I 100% know how you feel. You are doing the right thing in my opinion. I’m sure your grandmother KNOWS that you love her. You ARE NOT a bad granddaughter. You have been through so so much…. I’m sure way more than we know. You are such a wonderful person. Remember…. What comes around goes around. I’m sending you all the love in the world.
Grace, your Aunt is the one that will have to answer to God in way she did what she did & remember you will see your Grandma one day in Heaven. And your Grandma will realize what her daughter did & your Aunt will have to answer to her own Mother why she did the things that she did. I am a true believer that what goes around comes around, it may take time, but it always comes back. You have no regrets & I am sure you Grandma will always love you & who knows she may drive your Aunt crazy in asking where's Grace & where's all your sisters. That would be what your Aunt would deserve because I would love to be a fly on the wall to know what your Aunt's answer would be. Stay strong & take care of yourself & your Family.
The best place to leave it all is in the hands of God. He can work out things. I pray her gives you peace in this struggle. I’m sure your Grandmother knows you love her.
Sweet Sarah, you love so deeply, and I’m guessing it takes a ton of being hurt before you step back and set boundaries for yourself. It’s ok for you to feel this way, and you don’t owe anyone apologies or explanations. It is ok for you to step away now. You’ll want to remember your Grandma the way things were, before your dad died, and your aunt took charge. Your Grandma will want to remember you that way also. Don’t live in regret, because you know in your heart you have done all you could. You cannot go back to that place in your head that you told us all about. Remember your son and your husband need you to stay. That is what is most important right now. Bitter people will take you down with them, so that they have company. You are in my prayers. Trust and Lean, because God has got you. “In peace I will lay down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety” Psalm 4:8
You are doing the right thing I have a sister whom was the same as your aunt! Still is after both parents gone I do not hate but I do stay away and do not speak to her at all!
🙏🥲🥰 Sarah, you and your family are in my daily prayers.
Oh Sara, what a huge act of love you are showing your mamaw, and the Lord knows that .Your aunt will be reaping the ugly that she is sowing, and it won't be pretty. Keep holding your head up and know that we, your viewers, are here for you. God bless you.
What I am seeing n here Grace is what your aunt is doing is considered elder abuse and can be jailed for it in from Canada and that is not something shed get away with it happened to my late mother in law her bf and his son stole money from her she was a senior he could of been charged and put in jail but my husbands family didn't want to put mom in a lot of drama so he got away with it it also happened to my mother and went after the person got most of her money back but not all of it
Do not let her get away with it you and your sisters should see a lawyer just to see what your options are you need to protect memaw from her she isn't entitled to anything from what your dad had
If she has dementia you are better off to remember her as she was ! Cause it can make them ugly I know my mom had it
You may have to let your grandma go now You are not alone but you can meet again in heaven❤
Praying for you
You will feel better when you let it go, I do not try anymore it has been at least 5 years not speaking to most of them.
I know this is going to sound odd, pray bless and do good to your enemy. You will be surprised what good will come out of it this is spoken of in Matthew 5:44 .
I was wrongly fired from a job, and every morning when I would get in to shower hateful thought would fill my mind about co-workers and my old boss, once I started doing Matt 5:44 all the ugly thought stopped. I would pray for all's salvation, health , wealth , family, home and what ever else I could think of. This Works. Cast all your grandmother cares to the Lord He will take care of her.
Father I come to you in Jesus name, I bind up to the strong man off this family. I plunder his goods and cast him to the pit in Jesus name. I ask Holy Spirit to fill up all in family full and overflowing. I lift up the aunt to you lord I ask you would soften her towards all the girls, give her wisdom on how to care for grandma let her treat all like she wants to be treated. I ask peace that surpassed all understanding to fill this family also fill them up with joy, in Jesus name I ask amen.
Grace are you close to waskom?
I'm about an hour from Waskom
@EverydayGrace. OK your not super far from me
💕🙏💕
This is none of our business.😐
Train wreck here too girl! Lean into Jesus, He is my Rock!💕🙏🏼
Even though she has power of Attorney that has nothing to do with visitation to see your grandma. I would seek the advice of a Attorney who specializes in elder senior care family law.
You aren't alone. A healing trainwreck here too. I also had to walk away from family because of the drama and toxicity, only to be made "the bad guy" through their lies and manipulation. I will always choose to stand alone in truth rather than cower with the group founded on lies! A person can only take so much. Rest easy knowing you did your best and give the rest to God. Thinking of you
Girl! All of the drama is so exhausting, pray for your Aunt because she comes off as a selfish,coldhearted little piece of work.I feel your pain,we are struggling with the death of my FIL...I took care of him for years,while his other son wouldn't even call him.He passed on July 3rd and my BIL was already calling,telling us to sell dads house,because he wants his half of the money,he has no feelings, we close on my dads house on Sept 27th,after that we will never see him,his hiefer wife or thier kids,I cant wait....God has this!
One day a a time sweetie! Your Grandma knows you love her… I know she loves you as well ! The Truth is you are now going to love your Grandma and remember her as she was! (Before her dementia takes over ) In my experience with people with dementia they are not themselves. Sending thoughts and prayers your way ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 You got this ! You are Strong! Gods got you !

Do y’all have a liaison that could bring your grandma to your home for a visit to where you never have to interact with your aunt? Sending up prayers❤
I am so sorry for everything you are going through. I admire. your strength, I too have had the roughest two years with loss, divorce, moving completely away from all I know and at my age (61) I don't feel the strongest. I wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best in everything life has to offer xoxo
I am going to say a prayer over your life. Know that you are needed in this world. I've come to learn sometimes God wipes the slate clean In order to mould your life to what his will is for you.
I feel for you. I had to let go of toxic family and as hard as it was it was the best decision for me. It’s been a little over a year now and the drama is gone and my life is calm now and less stressful. It’s a shame that family members act the way they do but it is what it is. I’ve moved on and am happier now. It’s hard now but you will find peace and I pray that you can move on and be happy. ❤
Sweetie! I so get what you are saying. I had to let my brother go because he was so toxic for me! I prayed so.hard that God woukd make a relationship between us it got a firm answer , I believe from God to leave it alone, and he had this. So, for my sanity, I had to let it go. Trust me it is not easy bit continued prayer has been my answer. Do what is best for you! That is my only answer! Gid Bless!
I’ve been through something similar after the death of my mom . I don’t have a relationship with my older son now . But once I made the decision to be done with him it was a load off my shoulders and I’m at peace now I think you made the right decision praying for you ❤️🙏🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
❤🙏🏻
Aunty's probably responsible for much more than you're aware..stay away from her please. ✝️
I am praying for you and your family for peace and comfort. 🙏❤️
Sweetheart, don't YOU forget that YOU are God's child, too! I went thru a similar situation but with my own sisters years ago when momma had Alzheimer's. I was accused of horrible things and even called a devil! But, God has worked things out for HIS glory! And He will do the same for you. It may not happen real soon, but God will make everything right for you! Don't give up, keep praying, keep trusting in God, and have faith in Him! Remember, God works all things out for the good of those who love Him! (Romans 8:28) Hugs & blessings from VA! 🙏❤️🩹😔
We ARE The Lord Jesus Christ's people, the broken, the wretched, the poor, the outcasts, press into Jesus Christ lady Grace, for it is Christ alone & Him crucified that will get everyone of us through. Yes! it's a season dear sister, we MUST be patient & wait on The Lord, Seek The Lord & ALL will turn out the way it's meant to, for our betterment & FOR HIS GLORY, it ain't about religion it's about having a relationship with our Father, knowing His heart through The Holy Scriptures & The Holy Spirit, Fathers timing is perfect, ours is not. God bless you sister from a little farm in QLD Australia.
Sweety do not SPEAK ALLOWED your problems. God can hear your silent prayers. The devil can't, UNTIL YOU speak them aloud
I don’t usually post comments, but I have seen first hand how money/property brings out the ugliness in people. You are right to step away from negative people no matter how much it hurts. You need to look and concentrate on the good things in your life, your immediate family, your siblings, and your faith ❤
Hey it’s good to vent even if it’s on UA-cam. These difficult times happen in everyone’s life. Remember there is always something to be thankful, blessed and happy about. Sometimes you have to over look things and just be happy. Maybe write your Aunt a letter saying your peace and then move on for your own health and sake. Unfortunately we can’t always fix everything when it comes to family. You stay strong and stay blessed and remember you have to answer to yourself and God if you believe.❤
Dear Sarah grace. You are hurting and feeling very defeated and deflated among other feelings. By giving it all over to God This is the best thing you could have ever done. Speak to your pastor and read the Bible regularly and absorb its teachings. Gain some insight and knowledge and wisdom from it. Prayers are always heard. This will have closure someday and in his time not yours. God knows your heart and your intentions and you will have peace when God plans for it. I will definitely pray for you during this difficult period of life. Please do all you can to make time for yourself and your time with the Lord. You’re a very strong woman and very level headed person for your age. You have much wisdom and always seem to consider all sides of the situation before you make any decisions. My heart breaks for you and the hurt you have. Sometimes just speaking out about stuff makes you feel better it’s cathartic. Take care of yourself. So proud of you. The pain will be there but it will subside over time. God has your heart and will guide you girl. Prayers 🙏
I just want to hug you. I feel like we could be friends and chat for hours. I have a very toxic mil. I too lost my dad. I am so sorry for the stress you are going through. Your Aunt sounds like a control freak....pray, pray and pray some more.😊
Grace , I am so sorry that you are going through so much. Things like this happen way too much when people pass away. It’s so important to have a will to make sure things are done legally.
I went through something similar when my mother died.
It’s best to close the doors to the toxic family members. You need to get your peace back.
Oh Sarah, I am so sorry that you are going through this! I can’t imagine why anyone couldn’t get along with you but God knows and sees your heart and your pain. I’m a grandmother and can’t imagine not seeing my granddaughters. I’m not even going to guess why but I will pray for your peace about this situation. You stay close to your Jesus, your husband and your sisters. I believe in prayer and I will pray for your aunt to soften her heart and grip on her mother and have a complete turnaround about all this.
I’m praying for you and your family. God see and know your heart, your grandmother knows you love her.🙏
You have to let it go. They own piece of mind and spirit It won’t serve you and you have your own family that loves you and and knows your heart. Let the Lord deal with your aunt. I know it’s easier said than done, but we all have to go through testing in this life. Sending prayers for you and your family.
I fully understand I have and am living it cut all communication off with all but one brother one sister passed! You hold a special Blessed place in my heart love you
I am so sorry that this happened to you. God is with you, and he will help get you through this. You are the bigger person to choose to walk away and give this to God. Keep praying, you are loved for your honesty and the love you have for your faith.
Good for you. You’ve got to take care of yourself first always! Never stoop to the level of the devil trying to bring you down.
Oh my word. I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine what you are going through. I’m so glad you have let it go for your sake and your mental health. She knows you love her and that’s all that matters. Your aunt can’t take that away from you
Sarah, we are here for you! Good bad and the ugly. I’m so sorry you are going through this. Prayers to you and your family.
Hang in there girl. You got this. You are one strong cookie.
I took care of my Mom with dementia for 3 yrs your aunt is going to beg you for help . Mom got up in middle of night keeping my sister awake had to go over to help her seeing kids in middle of night , pooping her self talking to boyfriends not easy let her take responsibility let it go. ❤
Grace baby sending you the biggest hug. 🫂 🤗 ❤️ ♥️ 😘 💕
Sometimes you have to let go of the toxic people in your life to be happy.
I'm sorry you are going through this ! Set your boundaries and give it to God !❤
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT !
Thanks, it was my dad's
So sorry, your Aunt is very selfish

Oh Sarah, I’m so sorry you are going through this. You can’t let toxic people break you down to their level. God made you better than that.
Cherish the memories you have with your grandmother and you know she wouldn’t want this to happen, but when toxic people get involved it makes the situation even worse.
The good Lord sees all and will deal with it, you just have to keep the faith and peace will come. God will deal with this, just don’t let it bring you down. Just know I’m praying for you.
I hope you have a very peaceful and blessed night! ❤️🙏

I hope you have a peaceful blessed night ❤️
What is your aunt so afraid I meant did your grandmother will you everything and she's pissed about it or is she afraid that you are going to find out she changed the will no body acts that possessively over an elderly person and there is not something undermining going on I know this for a fact.
My Aunt has full control over the will and she won't let us see it. We've asked. It is another thing I could fight her over. But I honestly don't have any fight left in me. When I cut ties I let go of all of it. I have my dad's thing, and my sisters. That's all I need.
@@EverydayGrace. That might be what she's hoping for, praying for you and your family I really enjoy your channel. ♥
Sarah, thank you for sharing. I always look forward to all your videos. I will keep sending prayers and hugs. Keep leaning on Jesus and let him guide you. Know that your mammaw may have Dementia and one day forget people. She will always love you in her heart. She knows you have tried and that you love her. She also can sense the toxic situation and would not want you to continue to be rejected and accused of thing that are beyond ur control . You are amazing, and I am proud of you Sarah. You keep trusting in the Lord and he will give u strength & understanding to get u through
this valley in ur life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❣️💜💜💜❤️ know we are always here for u.
You had a wonderful gift of having your grandma for years as a healthy minded person. And you are showing maturity by setting boundaries with your Aunt , all in the name of self preservation. Galatians 5:22 talks about the fruit of the spirit. You can only control yourself and ask the Lord to help you live out those fruits. Check the scripture out. You can bless your grandma in other ways , God will show you. I am proud of you for doing what is right for you and your mental health. 💜✝️🙏🏻💜
Sweetie. You must do what you know is best for you. You have your own family to care for. Be kind to yourself and know you have done as much as you could to make things work with your aunt. Just keep sending love and light to your grandmother. It takes a lot of courage to take the steps to protect yourself and say goodbye to toxic people, especially in your case. I am sending you lots of love. Know in your heart that this is the only way to make your life better. I wish you lots of luck. Take it day by day.
Praying for you. You are right. Grief is never gone. It still cones in waves for me but God... He is always always with you even if you don't feel Him at this particular time. But take it from me, He loves you so very very much and will NEVER leave you or forsake you. Sending Prayers and love your way.
So proud of you. It’s not easy letting people go. I’m happy you are making yourself and mental health a priority.
Honey no we’re not getting tired of listening to you my family is horrible and once my Daddy passed it got worse 8 kids and you can’t trust any of them to tell the truth and talk behind my back so I move to another state could not take any more!
No hate to your aunt, but the enemy can use people to cause families to be divided, I know from experience 😢
I'm sorry what you going thru..I pray that you stay strong Cause God has this .. Remember people will have to Answer for things they done.. God will help you sweetie put it in his hands..And remember you have all of us your viewers which you can call me
a friend ..❤❤
Everyone needs someone to talk to, whether it be good, bad, inspiration, or whatever. Hopefully, things will turn around for the better soon.
I was very close to my grandmother as well. I was in a somewhat similar situation. Grieve her now even though she is physically still here. Don't feel ANY guilt. Cherish all your wonderful memories of her. Her mind may forget but her heart will never forget you. This will not be goodbye when her time comes but an "I''ll see you later". You will see her again one day in Heaven. You are right by going no contact with your aunt. The LORD will help you with your feelings about her once you give yourself and Jesus time to heal your heart. This is a season in the desert for you but with God this trial will make you stronger. Just always keep your eyes on Jesus and never look away. Many blessings to you Sarah.
Your aunt sounds very greedy. Sometimes a family member can be your worst enemy. Better to walk away if you can
Dementia sucks honey hold the good times to your heart. And live your best life that she and your Dad would want you too. Hugs family sucks sometimes too
I have 4 different family members who all have homes in walking distance. Things went on involving the family farm. The result we do not talk to most of them and I am at peace with it.
Unfortunately a lot of people are money hungry, just move on with your life and block your aunt.
Keep in mind the lord only gives us as much as we can handle. He can keep our plates full but when he cleans them it's amazing. Hang in there
