My older sister has psychosis and my mother thinks its down to Satan

I left my mothers care when I was 9 years old after she gave me and my middle sister another beating and put my middle sister in hospital. Me and my middle sister got put on Full Care orders and put in foster care while my older sister stayed with our mother.

We stayed in care until we both tuned 18. I spoke to my older sister recently and she told me she’s been diagnosed with psychosis but is reclusive. I wished my mother a happy Christmas just today and told her I’ve been attending online church sessions. She wrote this back on fb -Sarah (my older sister) made her choice and like what I told her …Satan will come after her and he did…’’ My mother posts over-radical Christian stuff on Facebook and is outright against gay people. She’s not a good Christian.

I live my own life without much input from my Mum. I have traveled some of the world, am dependable on myself, been through a lot of hardships and come out of them a better person and stronger. I coped without my mother and managed to have a good life even with SZA,

My older sister has always been with my mother, never been abroad. My mother telling her that because she hasn’t accepted Christ that’s why the Devil is after her, that must play into her mental health…

I’m glad I left my mothers care and got put into foster care, I’ve had a much better life. My mother is toxic. I feel sorry for my older sister.

Yes, that must have been horrible for your sister. I don’t believe that type of philosophy. I believe more, that God is giving you information with psychosis. But that could be wrong too.

I’m so sorry for you and your sister. That’s so awful!

Yeah, this isn’t right. Psychosis is a medical condition and shouldn’t be reasoned with religion because we do not think that’s appropriate

Your mother’s toxic nature is very likely what is causing your sisters psychotic state or nature - it’s always a stressor that causes it, and more often than not, most don’t realise, it is the treatment we receive by others or certain people

My mother is also religious and tried to get me exorcised when i was 15 years old. Got more delusional after that. But she’s supportive now and urges me to take my meds. She seems to think though that my sza is because I left her religion (which is total nonsense).

It’s good to get away from ignorant and toxic people.

By the same token, all the people in the world who haven’t accepted Christ should hear voices or otherwise be possessed by the devil… which is nonsense to me. Your mother is a very bad influence and seems to lack empathy.

Devil has nothing to do with mental illness,
Christians believe illness comes from the devil though/and healing from Christ etc. other religions have it mapped out different ways.

Sorry your sister has psychosis that sucks.
