Can I give you some recommendations? Don't to pray to Mary and pray to the father. Go to bible reading church with lots of believers (usually protestant with not many idols or none) and Don't forsake it.
I’m not praying to Mary, I’m praying WITH Mary(at least I used to). Asking other people to pray for you is not a sin, is it now?
But thanks for giving me the advise anyway.
Your actually pretending to ask her for help since she is dead and she needs to raised from the dead to eternal life.
Asking other people to pray for you is not a sin, is it now?
You're really praying to her even if you are asking her to pray for you it still idolatry since you could ask God to interced for you.
“Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” – Romans 8:34
So every time you "think about your faith" you choose to run to sin in order to "stop thinking about it"?
I think I've identified the problem.
"I do what i know is wrong BECAUSE..."
That will leave you empty, despairing, and faithless... BECAUSE you're in a pattern of justifying doing things that drag you down into the muck by saying "i only do this BECAUSE of the muck i'm in".
What is the leap of faith?
Trying to honestly belive in the unseen despite my doubts.

Go talk to your priest.
