Wow I needed to hear that. I was born into it, but also probably widened the door through my own actions as a teenager.

My fathers side of the family many of them, admittedly are witches and practices alot of bad things. My father is also a "Christian" but told me relentlessly when I was a younger girl that I needed to get saved and I was gonna burn in hell. Everytime my dad got mad at me he would yell at me to burn in hell. He thinks because he went to a seminary and studied theology that he can Beat me and everyone over the head with Bible verses but treat me as crappy as he does at the same time. He's a hypocrite. I have been demonized since I can remember and it only picks up in experiences. He was also in the military and what not so I don't trust him as far as i can throw him. Honestly, every single one of my family member has "turned" and for my sanity i cut them out.

Those people feel like absolute strangers to me and I don't love them after everything. I was like a dog going for crumbs when them. Im pathetic.

Anyways I'm sorry Glp is usually pretty helpful for me and I don't have true friends to vent to.


Cutting out doesn't have to mean anger and hatred by the way...but often is the result when family is involved and when it was ultimately the source of the hell to begin with...
It is simply making a stand and statement that you will place all things under authority of Jesus. Most people that used to control you will not respond with a smile to that kind of decision.
I would ask the Lord for an enduring and unconditional love for your family despite them, and pray for them...even as you turn your back on anything that would be like a stumbling block to you or you know is opposed to God.
Family is tough. This I do know for sure. But they are worth fighting for spiritually even if you never get to see them or speak to them again.
None of us are perfect and all of us will pay what is due in this earth, but it is just transitory anyway. Eyes should be on the prize that comes after, and do our best to be clear eyed and pure hearted while we breath a few breaths on this planet.
Again I'll keep myself in check. Good luck to you and don't let it be just until things get really "tough". Endure to the end...these are the ones promised to. Not those that put up a fight, get tired, and then just fall back in line.
