Am I Just Losing My Mind?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "There's someone from my past I want to let go of but can't. I've been praying to God for the past 3 years, asking He make me forget her and help me move on, but nothing has changed. The smallest things will trigger memories. I'll see her face in dreams, so clearly, like looking at a photograph. Is God telling me not to let go of her? Is it a demon distracting me? Am I just losing my mind? I've looked everywhere but can't find answers. I'm just so conflicted and don't know what to do."

My Daughter Will Regret When I Die

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, Connie writes "Dr. Betters I have a real problem with my daughter. She and I used to be close. My husband, her father passed away in Feb 2020. I’m 72 & she’s 50. She acts like she could care less if I’m alive or not! If I don’t agree with everything she says she jumps down my throat! I think she’s been to visit me 3 times since her daddy passed. She does work & I understand that she’s tired when she gets home. It has gone as high as 2 weeks before she calls. We did go on vacation together this past May but she was mad 3 out of the 4 days we were gone. It started the 2nd night at a restaurant when I asked her to put her phone down to look at the menu. She started yelling at me to never tell her to put her phone away. I had to get up & walk away because she was so embarrassing. I have prayed each night that God would soften her heart. I write all this because when my mom passed away I had so much guilt thinking of things I should’ve done differently. My daughter is my only child and I’m really not sure if she’d miss me when I go!"

I ended up struggling myself because I felt as if I did not have a life because of his life I will never be able to tell him to forgive me for how I treated him, I treated him bad at times, I have asked God to forgive me I know I was wrong, it hurts so bad at times I am in tears now just writing this.

I have a great fear for my parents who are no longer with me, they believed in God but did not read the Bible, so did not get to know God beyond this church systems which are quite false."
