  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My mother-in-law's salvation and healing from her narcissism

So my brother in law has a mother named Debbie. When he married my older sister, she became part of our family through his marriage.

Unfortunately, she has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She is not a very good person at all and I will tell you why.

You see, when my brother in law was a kid, his mother and his father were both drug addicts and they sold illegal drugs on the street. They even tried to get him to do it, but he was just a kid! He was raised in a bad household where his parents neglected him and told him that his birth "was a mistake." What a thing to say to a child! How dare they be so unloving! :dead:

So he had a bad childhood. His mother never cooked anything for him, he had to fend for himself and make his own meals. You might say he grew up really fast.

About Debbie: She had been taking illegal drugs for so many years (which just fueled her drug addiction like fire and she refused to go to rehab) that unfortunately it caught up with her. She finally became paralyzed on the left side of her body and had to be admitted to the hospital. That was several years ago. She is living with a caretaker nowadays. But her drug addiction fried her brain (ouch!) and that is how she got her personality disorder. Today she is both a cruel and very selfish person, who always talks about "how great she is" and puts her son down all the time. It's quite toxic.

This is why she so desperately needs salvation. She has lived like the Devil her whole life, and now I am seeking God to bring her into his light and clean up her ways.

I don't talk or interact with my mother in law, I've actually never even met her. But from what my brother-in-law tells us about his mother and his upbringing, I can see she is not a good person and she did not raise him with love and care, like I feel every mother should do with their children...

It makes me sad hearing stories like this, that kids were raised by parents who didn't love them or abused them in some way. I had the exact opposite childhood that my brother in law did: it was a very good childhood. I had loving parents and a lot of playtime. I have fond memories of my childhood. It was great. :) And now I am just sad that he didn't have the same happy experience I had growing up. Why is the world so unfair like that?

Gracious Heavenly Father,
Please bring Debbie to a saving knowledge of the truth and faith in You. Please have mercy on her son, Jacqueline’s brother-in-law, for the sake of Your child Jacqueline. I pray for His salvation, and show him that You are the healer of all emotional wounds. Please guide Jacqueline’s sister to Yourself, and help her to help, as she is important for this process.
In Christ’s Name,
Amen
