So I'm going to take a moment to vent, because I can, and I don't know where else to do it.

I am not a huge fan of a couple of my husband's non-immediate family members. By not a huge fan, I mean I would rather poke a sharp stick in my eye than be in the same room with them. The last time I had to be in close quarters with these people, I was surprised (!) with their presence on Mother's Day a couple of years ago. I spent the day locked in the basement bathroom crying. No joke. They are broke, but send us letters asking for money so that they can go on trips to Africa, because that's what God is telling them to do. Anytime I say something the response is, "Oh, that's just how he and/or she is".  I don't even have the words to describe them, but I do know that if I had the chance to cause bodily harm, I would probably do it. Anyways.

So the husband, who calls himself a Pastor- he's not- posted this link on his FB. (We are not friends)

The wife then, comments this: What those parents did is their business only and should not be condemned. They are entitled to their beliefs and prayer does heal.

Now I'm pretty sure I'm overreacting here, but what the ever-loving fuck?! I am stuttering in my head as I try to write this. I lose my son because there is nothing in the world that can possibly save him, and it is perfectly acceptable for these people to let TWO babies die because if they pray their God should heal them?! TWO babies!!! No medical care! When there are people like me who would do any and everything and rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills only to have their baby still die, this person who is technically my family thinks it is okay for this family to basically kill two living beings who cannot help themselves, when by all means they should have lived? All 4 of the adults I have mentioned in this posting... I hate them. I truly do.

I hate when people excuse other people's hurtful behavior, or when the shittiest people use religion as an excuse for all that they do. I don't know what else to say, I'm just mad and had to say something. Blowup over for now.
