Need Space from loved ones who hurt you

[Sabri]

I have been praying about how to deal with this situation. A family member said some very hurtful things to me via text. Then later text -i went to far sorry. After we spoke on the phone she never said I’m sorry. The things she said was horrific. I know she was being demonically influenced. However, I am praying to be able to find a way to have a relationship with her, but am afraid of what she will say. At this time, I do not want my daughter to be over her house. It sounds sad. But if she’s being led by the devil she will use anything to get to me. I understand the enemy goes about seeking those whom he can devour and uses most of us at times if we are not in the spirit. I’m staying prayerful.

You will have to speak to her, explaining that you were really hurt when she texted, 'x y & z ' Explain that it has destroyed your relationship and that you will not be visitingh her or welcoming her to your home.
What happens then.

Think this through very carefully.

This is a relative who lives in your town. It is Christmas. What normally happens in your family at Christmas?
Do you all meet up together, at whose house?
Will you be going this Christmas?

If senior members of your family are arround can you explain the situation to them, could they mediate between you?

a biblical verse for you.
Luke17:3 and Luke 6:26+27

please read and apply them.

Maybe after they texted "I'm sorry", they just didn't want to mention or bring up what was said? You might want to have a conversation with them about this, with another family member around.

I hope that this issue can be resolved, may God bless all of your endeavors!

How old is your child? If you feel she needs to be protected and not allowed unsupervised visits, you need to do that.

I'm in a situation where my mother, who is likely a narcissist, has caused a LOT of damage to my relationships with other people, including my siblings and some of my children. By the time I realized how messed up my family of origin really was, some of my kids were young adults and I was unable to protect them from the family issues as they made their own choice to continue seeing their grandparents and aunts and uncles. If your daughter is young, you have the opportunity to protect her from bad influences and should.

You need to walk in forgiveness. To let the offense go. Your job is to restore relationships when they break, not try to fix other people's issues.
