Should You Sever Ties With Toxic Family?

[@Robert-t5b2g]

This was an amazing education. I want to say publicly that i forgive all, and renounce all bitterness. Also, i repent and ask forgiveness of any sin i have committed against anyone. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

A narcissistic parent is the worst thing to happen to a child , I would never wish that on anyone.

[@lauravella2025]

It IS . MY MOTHER IS A COVERT MALIGNANT NARCISSIST. the very fact that I’m STILL ALIVE is the testament of my STRONG SPIRIT AND BEING PROTECTED . The devil gave birth to me . Sister and brother are narcs and they did everything as well to destroy me . Sister in law is a narc as well . They are all possessed and chose the dark side long ago . Now I’m planning my escape from this house bc I live w my narc mother . The devil never sleeps that’s all i can say!

[@kristinloucks2084]

I have a narcissistic father and I can't get him to leave me alone. All he does is tear me and my son down and get our nerves all tore up. He has no respect for our boundaries either.

Luke 12:51 " Do you think I come to bring peace on Earth? I tell you, not at all.I came to divide the family" If your family is toxic, it's okay to separate from them. You must continue your journey and do right

[@LoanShoppingExpert]

No; you must honor your father and mother no matter what. You may have to figure out a way to do that without harming yourself, but you gotta obey the 5th Commandment.

[@Adtheos]

@@LoanShoppingExpertbeing hostile and harboring evil feelings and desires would constitute dishonoring them. Distancing, within reason and through prayer and without resentment is not dishonoring them. If the parents then come and want to make amends and fix things, but the kids do not want to, that’s dishonoring them. What do you think is honoring and dishonoring them?

[@BettyStahl-f2c]

Thank you so much for this repeat message. It's my story. Different characters, same situations. My son relinquished his young teen daughters to us because their evil, demonic stepmother was brutal to them. He gave them the choice to leave. Now years later when daughters are grown with families of their own he insists we coerced the girls and talked them into leaving his toxic household. I'm also now leaving this toxic relationship but waffle back and forth. This message gives me courage to continue on with limited contact.

[@DrewAM365]

Pastor Mark this teachings are so profound as I have witnessed toxicity especially in the church. These conflicts are even worse within families of mixed races, I had a black friend married to a Caucasian woman the family was small town religious likely somewhat prejudice. The wife's family controlled everything from where to live meaning where they could work to events & holidays...and the control got worse as children were born. My buddy once told me I usually just do what the wife wants b/c of her family...and to keep her happy. He didn't have a good support system from his family and we his friends were not well informed to notice or were not aware to seek knowledge and how to help but in the end he sat in a vehicle with a plugged co2 exhaust and took his life...to this day I think the overbearing extended family made him take his life. At the funeral these people were totally expressionless its like they were glad he was not around.

[@19miraclesarehere]

Wow! That's exactly what I asked God for. I even didn't know there were sermons about this topic. Thank You, Jesus! Thank you, pastor Mike.

[@lisawagner5172]

This was spot on! I had a family member that did this to my husband and our kids. It was so powerful to know what this truly was.

[@cecilianbarrett6417]

This was shared here yesterday, but I just ran across it while scrolling through fb. I caught it shortly after it began, and was going to wait for it to be available so that I can go back and watch the whole sermon in it's entirety. I came here and was thrilled to find it already up & available. This message is definitely a much needed on-time word for me! Praise God for knowing just what we need and when!! This is a hard one! It just is! I've been through this very thing with what little family I have left about a month ago. I wanted so badly to see them come to Jesus themselves!!! Over time it became clear that this was being used against me. It wasn't until I had to get honest with myself when Jesus showed me I have been a hindrance to them if anything. By allowing toxic behaviors to continue I was not only enabling them, but even worse I had became a hindrance to them. I was leading them to believe that Jesus was okay with it. I cannot wait to start this and watch all the way through. Thank you for this message here! I greatly needed to hear this!

[@g-bgcg]

I like what you said about The toxic family members form unholy alliances because their demons know each other”. So true. We have a family member that is atheist and is into witch cults and satan. This person has created so much strife in our family with drama, lies and emotional assaults. I prayed and prayed about what to do because most Christian’s will tell you to just deal with it and showered them with love. Well, that doesn’t always work. Sometimes you have to walk away from that person in order to protect yourself and your family OR maybe God will orchestrate for that person to not be in your life anymore. It’s been several years of no contact and it was the right thing for me to do based on God answering my prayers. Always pray about what to do. Seek Gods word and then obey what God says to do.

[@macb-mamas]

Agreed! Not only that, but if you just go along to get along they will not be held accountable. Even if they don’t admit their part or apologize they will know you are not someone they can control and that you see through their manipulation.

[@DrewAM365]

My own story I met a gal @ church noticed the strain b/t her and her family. These folks had a righteous religious complex, I noticed their family was literally all about them, and were pretentious smiling in my face but saying wild mean things behind my back full of gossip false accusations and total disrespect was sown b/t her family and I. I'm not perfect or error-less either, but it felt prideful and prejudicial and we separated, I was upset but considered myself fortunate. The gal later realized her family sabotaged her relationships & sowed discord..her words. Lesson learned & agreed I would recommend to sever ties with toxic potential families even toxic friends. I learned if there is no healthy positive support system if its not building you and growing you but backstabbing confusing hurting or creating anxiety the relationship is not worth it. I learned to also seek relationships with people of greater wisdom and intellectual capacity than you whom are encouraging...much better than to be stuck with close minded folks who fit that old saying "GREAT minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, SMALL minds discuss people." I don't say this to dredge up the past of which is forgiven but to inform and enable these much needed discussions and sermons.

I'd like Mark to do a sermon on children who have abandoned their parents and/or treat them with disdain.

[@Robert-t5b2g]

Because there is almost always a reason for this happening. Like narcicist or abusive parents. If a child's hatred for you extends beyond puberty, you are the problem.

My mother recently died. I suspect she managed to keep the family together. Over the year I have figured out that one of my siblings is a damned narcissist and so is our father. I think they are triangulating against me and my youngest sister. Since mom’s passing, everything I have believed and chosen in my life (aka my faith) is under attack.

I know people who air dirty laundry publicly, such as public Facebook posts. It’s so cringey and embarrassing. They also twist the truth, take things out of context, and only share limited information, to people who don’t know, or fully understand the situation. Behavior like that is a major RED FLAG.

[@Chevron1]

I cut off ties with my sister. She was so upset over it, (or maybe angry) that my other sister and both their kids cut me out of the family. It was not a perfect family to start with. Those two sisters always left me out of any plans anyway. I never knew what a scapegoat was, what a narcissist was… it’s took me 11 years to figure out I was dealing with narcissistic, manipulative sisters. I became a scapegoat. I blamed myself for years for “losing” my sisters. Hated myself. Wished for death. Now I realized it wasn’t all me. I am still healing. It’s best I’m not around them. I have tried to patch things up but the matriarch sister said no one wanted me around. I hurt “the family” too severely. I pray for them but I am going forward by God’s grace. No more blaming myself. It’s not all my fault. The matriarch gives large monetary gifts to my adult kids if they include her in their lives. I struggle because I’m scared she will turn my kids against me. But it is in God’s Hands.

[@kristinloucks2084]

I'm sorry you went through this but I'm glad you finally saw the light! I understand how you feel. I got a sister that's done this to me too. I've removed myself from the entire family bc of her. She's the ultimate reason why I'm divorced now plus she made my teenage son suicidal. That in a nutshell is the reason why I will never go back.

Open doors allow demons to enter into families. Un forgiveness, bitterness, pride and selfishness can lead people to make some very wrong decisions. Including estrangement from family due to listening to Evil mean people. We ALL need to have that intimacy with the Holy Spirit so we don’t fall into the trap Satan sets.
