I posted on one of the boards here a prayer request. I'm having some family trouble, and I gave a few supporting facts, but otherwise it was just a prayer request.

My family has rejected me totally. They insist that I do nothing but cause trouble. Then the next minute, I'm a witch for "abandoning" my parents and siblings because I moved 2.5 hours away, 13 years ago. I'm not sure how both could be true.

Anyway, someone on one of these boards apparently knows who someone in my family is, because someone on here contacted my sister and told them I was on this site talking about them. Now they're even more angry.

I can't believe I have to sensor what I say on these forums because they've managed to track me here.

Oh, well.

You can start a new account and not use your name this time. CF.com has a lot of traffic so any search for your name would pop right to the top of search listings. Or you can ask a moderator to change your profile.

I can believe it for it is happening to me and I was thinking of posting it here,

Blessing Enemies

, , but now I see why that action hasn’t been fluid.

You should know by now our foe still enrages flesh in these times and uses all those carnal response mechanisms to his advantage. Not the least of which are convoluted defenses from their own lack. I too am dealing with this and misguided flesh and blood, Christian or not is ill-equipped to fend off light. Especially true when that someone has their lives under the blood of Christ.

Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

(Psalm 6:10)​

Lord, do bring aid and relief to our sister here in Jesus name!

I also recommend that you request a change to your username and delete previous posts if possible.

I would like to tell you that we can't change toxic people. We can't make our family members like us. What we can do is strive to obey Christ (to forgive others, to be slow to anger, to give soft answers, to avoid arguing, etc.).

I came from a dysfunctional family and finally moved away. I prayed for those members who constantly criticized me and did other things to make my life miserable; I didn't pray for anything bad to happen to them. I prayed that they wouldn't interfere in my life.

Ephesians 4
29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Romans 2
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

I'm so sorry for your trials, but I believe you'll go to the Lord and find strength as I did. :heart:

P. S. The reason I suggest having previous posts deleted is because years ago I changed my username but it was obvious that I was the same person. Becoming incognito wasn't my goal though. I didn't care for the nickname people had started using.

Abandon this 'username' and account.
Open a new account with a diffrent 'user name' and make use of the forum to debate and exchanges ideas etc.
Do continue to offer love to your family even though they don't want it. Time heals most wounds so give them and yourself time to heal.

I can't deal with their drama any more. Maybe I'll be able to let them in again someday.
But with a disabled husband, two autistic children and another with depression and seizures, I can't handle any more stress. I do totally forgive them. But Three times this calendar year, there have been major family happenings, and all three times, I was shut out.
Just because we forgive does not mean we have to let people back into our lives, when they have intentionally hurt us
