Hi, I am a Christian and a Pastor's kid as well. I am unhappy and burdened to say that even if I have pastor parents, I find ithard to open up to them as I feel condemned and judged and they would nevef support me and treat me with respect. My dad died when I was 15. When I took BS psychology in the Philippines, i realized that he could be a narcissist and it somehow resulted to my toxic unhealthy beahvior towards my ex boyfriend. I kept cheating on him as a subconscious revenge when he cheated on me. During our relationship, he would continue his vices and immaturity so I would always call him out to the point that I judged him for that. I blamed him for our relationship problems and I always leave him because he wouldnt change. He always hang out with his bad influence friends and I was never treated with respect so I keep demanding it from him to the point that I became manipulative and controlling. Then the cheating came to me and I did 3x but he always forgive me and I keep coming back despite of the fact that we would just fight and breakup again. This became an obsession and it led to fornication. Whenever we fight, we would just fix it through sex not communication and we grew emptier and I grew worse inside. I always demanded his time and affection til God delivered me last year. I broke up with him but we still have communication and there was even a promise. On september 2019, I found out that he spread our sexual experience to our youth group through camp without my consent. I confronted him about that and he denied it. He made me look like I never trusted him. Was I gaslighted?. I felt guilty for the times I avoided him coldly because I didn't want him to affect my faith again but he sent me mixed signals like on december 2019 he asked me if I still love him. Then on january 2020, he returned my stuff. the next month, we coincidentally rode the same bus and he revealed to me months later that he wanted to sit next to me that time. it was feb 14 when that happened but a week later, he already had a gf. In March 2020, he confessed about the new girl. I was devastated that I tried to take him back and I succeeded. But we fell into fornication again and whenever I hear the spirit of God convicting me in the act, I always reject it and I grew far from him. My mental health deteriorated and I wanted my ex to help me but he seemed distant and he was cold enough and rude to answer and he treated me way too differently than before. I started having insecurities and fear that when I told him to stop he left me and when I chased him I became obsessed of the idea that I didn't want him to be with someone again so I hacked his account and messaged the girl he dated after me to know what kind of girl she is and I found out that my ex was spreading stories that I was the bad person.
I am lost and confused. Am I a narcissist? Or am I just scared of being abandoned. I am straightforward and blunt but it all seemed to be gaslighting when my ex reacted in a negative way telling his friends that I belittled him, i looked down on him so I felt that maybe I actually did that. Maybe I gaslighted him and whenever I tell him he's immature, it's not correction but gaslighting.
I'm also feeling hatred over my dad. I can't help myself from blaming him that if I was ever narcisstic to my ex or to the people around me, it waa because he was a narc to my mom and he mnipulated my mom. I think my dad never loved us and I'm blaming him for making me like this. I wish I knew everything before I got into my relationship with my ex 5 years ago so I wouldn't hurt him. How can I forgive a dead person and how can I do that if I am still struggling with the effects of being in an abusive and narcissistic household?
I am guilty and regretful for hurting my ex that I keep wanting to reconcile with him but he's angry at me and I want to understand him but I can't shoulder the blame because I know he took a part in our break up as well. But is it wrong to feel this way?
I am overwhelmed with emotions such as guilt, shame for all the mistakes I've done to God, regrets, hatred for my dad, anger at God for not hearing me and for making me feel like I'm alone, fear over my soul's salvation, fear of bad spirits that they might possess me if God is not with me anymore because maybe I have blasphemed the holy spirit, fear that I may hurt my mom or my family, fear of my lustful intrustive thought of being a pedophile and immoral, fear of being an atheist and denying God and His spirit, fear of being judged and called as hypocrite if I start to be changed for good, fear of my ex's threat that according to him, if I ever bug him again something will happen. I am scared that he would leak my secrets that I was raped by my cousins at the age of 5 and these cousins are changed by God now. I am scared that he would leak that my step dad sexually-verbally harassed me and that could affect his ministry. I am scared that he leaked my nude photos.
I am also afraid of what our youth group thinks of me now that I found out that my ex told them about our sexual history in details. I am in the ministry and I am afraid they would call me hypocrite since I also fell into sex again months ago with my ex.
Whenever I try to change, and rebuke nothing changes. Whenever I rebuke a spirit like "I rebuke the spirit of fear or I rebuke the spirit of lust, I rebuke the spirit of malice In Jesus Name" I get weak and I don't know why. I feel exhausted deep inside just by rebuking. Does that mean there's a bad spirit opressing me or is it just my emotions?
I also have hate at God and I feel guilty about it. I am angry at Him for not being able to help me and prevent the misfortune s in my life. Why would he let me be raped at such a young age? Why would he let bullies bully me? Why didn't he heal my dad or made him realize that he was a pastor yet he is abusive (not physically). Why did he let me experience the pain of hurting someone I actually care about and why do I feel left out from Him. Did I really commit blasphemy? I had thoughts of denying Hin and His spirit. Is that blasphemy? I never wanted to do these things. I doubted if He really exists. Maybe He is not there that's why nothing is happening or maybe he is just an idea by weak people based on the kdrama I watched. But I always wash away these thoughts.
I need faith to see His goodness and be freed by His Spirit but I lack faith because of the frustration that despite of reading the bible and praying and fasting, I still couldn't get out from my egypt. Now what should I do?
My mom is not supportive of situations like this. She would say "There's no reason to be like that" she's hurtful but she's not aware of that and I am mad for having unsupportive parents.
I already seeked a psychologist this year and she diagnosed me with PTSD but after therapy, I noticed that upon studying my course, I may not be in the scale of PTSD but in the scale of personality disorder maybe NPD or HPD and she may have misdiagnosed me since both are trauma related conditions but I cant make assumptions. I am still a student and I don't know much about my course yet. My family cannot afford therapy anymore. We are in a financial crisis after we got scammed for 2 time at a trading corporation and by an investment scam that doubles our investment after 15 days. I cannot afford it myself so I am looking for help in here because Jesus is our great healer
I am overwhelmed by unexplainable emotions and I don't understand this feeling that I think something wantd to get out of my chest but it can't go out. I don't know what this is and I already asked God to search my heart but it is still there. Whenever I try to get it out of myself - the feelings of confusion, hate, bitterness, lust, fear and anxiety, I would feel weak and then aroused and I feel dirty so I always stop trying to remove these stuff from me
How can I get over this? I also have sudden dreams of sexual stuff and I feel dirty and more ashamed to God.
