Whenever u write an article, I can relate! Maybe not in the exact scenario, but in the frustration of those kinds of decisions. Of course we converse with the Father about ALL things. He showed u the way as is evidenced by ur quoted scripture. The controversy it seems to me, is ur mother, or in my case letting go of learned behavior. Both of those things r from the flesh. Both of them r not of the spirit. They r burdens and Jesus says to lay those burdens down. They r not helpful. The other point i wish to make is that we must live in the present. That means only what is of today. To draw it out to months or years ahead of time is not what the Spirit tells us. It is divisive. Sufficient r the problems of today. U r not the referee of others or the arbitrator. That does not mean u cannot give ur best advice, but u can only try to “ lead a horse to water, but u can’t make it drink!” Right now, ur mother, is wishing she never put that burden on u,but as usual, the Father gives a good lesson from it.

You have done the only right thing there is to do in this situation. You laid the torch at The Father's Feet. There is no better placement for it. Perhaps by doing so, and stepping back, out of the role your mother carved for you, your family will realize that they must now shoulder more of the family's navigation for themselves. Your job is the same thing it was always meant to be in your Father's Eyes;: You handed The Father your family's creation, an earthly torch. Now you are free to become a Light of Yahusha before their eyes. The Father, YHUH, gave you the choice to be a flashlight for the family.... or a lighthouse for Him. I believe you chose wisely.

Something I've learned that has helped me is knowing that He loves all his children more than we ever could. His children being our fathers, mothers, kids, cousins, siblings... all of them. They are His first. My perspective has shifted from being responsible, to being blessed to be a part of His story and to steward in areas I've been given. It was a lesson in letting go. While I can't see His plan for them, my heart and soul know and trust in His goodness.
