Amen!
This is so difficult when it’s your own family though.
Walking away from toxic family members or even your abusive parents is one of the hardest things people can do... and some never try. Many people won't understand. It's pleasing that they don't understand.
I haven't seen my parents since they changed the locks on me when I was 16 years old. I was a good kid who never got into any trouble. I doubt we'd recognize each other anymore if we passed in the street. I assume they're still alive.
How sad. But it sounds like you’ve moved on. Yes I’m having issues with my daughter. She refuses to speak to me. Six months its been now. She went to college. Need I say more.
Yes same here. My daughter has been completely brain washed as has her mother. My daughter hates me with a passion. Does not speak to me. Storms out of the room if I enter it. Why? No idea. All I ever have done is tell them the truth and try to keep them safe.
That’s why she storms out. The truth.
Other family members of mine, that are related to my daughter, are very much Christians. They left the Lord so much that his joy just emanates from them.
They told me the reason why she doesn’t wanna be around me is because I represent truth. I represent love! And she doesn’t want to know what the truth is because that would mean she would have to give up her own sin. My truth and love of Jesus Christ shining through my life shines on her so bright that her soon is so evident that she can’t bear even being in my presence.
I’m not saying I’m a great wonderful perfect person. Because it’s only Christ in me that illuminates her sin. It’s nothing that I do personally, it’s just him. His truth, and his love. But by embracing him, the Holy Spirit shines through me, and she can’t stand it. She just can’t stand it because she actually thinks she’s God now.
The sad part… And I am ashamed to even admit this. She’s 30 years old, a graduate from ASU, and I just found out from my mom a month or two ago that she wants to cut her breasts off. And there’s nothing I can do about it. Nothing! All I could do is pray and hope that God gets to her before she makes us rific decision that will change your life forever, or cost for to suicide herself.
I think that's my lesson in this existence. Find and be yourself and don't let the demons bring you down!
If you're absolutely certain that you want to sever all contact with your parents then you'll need to prepare yourself for an unexpected knock on the door when they come (asking for money) or when one of your family members contacts you with the news your mother or father is about to have surgery in hospital and wants to see you. Or the news that one of them has died.
Decide what you want to do. Have a plan because this will happen.
How sad that the people who should have had your back did that to their own child. I am sorry you went through that betrayal. It was and is their loss and you are better without them. Same thing happened to both our children. The oldest is 45, and won’t have anything to do with us. Our younger one believes in global warming and everything the media spouts. One went to GWU and the other to IU. The older has never voted, the younger voted for Biden! Agh..... I hope I live to see them realize that they were wrong and we were right. I felt somewhat similar about my parents, and they proved to be right. I wish they were still alive for me to tell them. If only what we learn as we grow older could come to us earlier in our youth!
I'm sorry for your experiences. Life is a roller-coaster for all of us.
My parents were psychologically and physically abusive. My final epiphany came when I was 14 after I went to hospital after not sleeping for days because of an infection in my back that caused major blood poisoning.
I woke after emergency surgery. They called my mother and she came. She made sure there were no witnesses and slapped my face so hard that I tore the drop from my hand. She asked, "Well, what do you have to say for yourself?". I didn't know what was happening. I said I was sorry. She hit me again. I was supposed to say "Happy birthday" because it was her birthday. It probably wasn't her birthday - I can't remember.
I knew then that my future children can never be exposed to these people.
I tried not to judge them for years until I became a parent and understood more about what pressures they were under. As I grew older I just realized they were trash.
I don't recall having a single real discussion with either of my parents about politics or books or anything. I'm unsure if they even knew what school I went to. There was always food in the house, so at least there's that.
I have no regrets.
Or have no other person left other than God.
It's not that God isn't enough, hes everything, hes all you need and all you have in the end... but after a lifetime of having people here you could talk and connect to, understand you... it can be quite difficult to not.
We can endure all, with God, that's what matters most, even if the task is extremely difficult, time to time.
Thank you. Amen.
It's difficult but Abraham had to leave everything familiar.
AMEN AMEN!!!!
I agree, it is hard when it is your family. But if you know that family member is mentally ill or evil, it helps to reconcile the loss.
