Here’s more proof that total No Contact is the way to recovery. A new study finds that continuing to follow a former romantic partner on Facebook after breaking up makes it harder to move on. Read:

    Bluejay,
    there is nothing wrong with your post. It is true that spathy is partially inherited because of temperment and partially acquired though the environment that a child is raised in. Whether you call it demons or just bad luck, you are right, it is generational. It is rampant in my family, sadly.

    I think that it cannot be healed because God doesn’t force anything on us. He gives us the choice, but spaths always choose the opposite of good.

    Many spaths, even MOST spaths, know exactly what they are doing but feel compelled to continue choosing evil. It is as if they congealed into that emotional state and no matter what they learn, they can’t feel any different.

    For example if you always believed that the sun revolved around the earth, then you find out that the earth revolves around the sun, most of us can adjust our mindset. A spath can know he is wrong but still believe he is right. They are so messed up.

    By the way, thanks for telling me that I won when I walked away. That made me feel better.

    Absolutely! Your post, in my opinion, is right on about the generational curses, etc. They are very hard to break.

    Louise,

    We can’t break them. Only God can break them, through healing, deliverance of the person, family tree (the Catholics and Protestants support the idea that God can do wonders today, healing, clearing a blood line of negative spirits that have attached themselves due to past relatives’ wrongdoings). It can happen, believing that it’s possible – Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, so what He did in his time period, He can do today. Just my two cents. This is all that I’ll say about the matter, having had my own spiritual experiences in the past (years ago), proving to me that there are spirits that we want to be rid of and can get free of.

    Yep, I know. Only God can do it. HE can do everything.

    What did you do to free yourself of the spirits? I know there is a generational curse on my family and there was a time a few years back that I prayed very hard to have it broken, but I don’t think I was successful. What can I do?

    Blue Jay,
    I think it was the day before I found out what the spath was, that I drove by my spathy witch neighbor’s house and said to myself, “I feel cursed to have such an evil creature living across the street. I would rather live with a poltergeist in my house than have that creature there.” (she is actually a practicing wiccan BTW)

    The next day, I found out that my spath was evil and that essentially, I HAD been living with an incredibly evil entity.

    I think that the subconscious KNOWS more than we do. My own words revealed to me what I knew but just couldn’t admit.

    There is no difference between a spath and a possession. The only difference between a spath and a poltergiest is that the spath has a corporeal presence.

    Louise,
    why do you believe you have a generational curse on your family?

    No, I am with you 100%. I believe in spirtual warfare totally. Thanks so much for your story!! I have heard about Stormie before. I think I actually read one of her books a long time ago.

    You know, I actually did something similar to this at my parent’s home about four years ago when my dad was dying of cancer. I don’t think I said it aloud (Stop in the name of Jesus) so maybe that’s why I don’t think it worked. But I am going to remember this and use it again.

    skylar,

    I definitely agree that the subconscious knows more than the conscious self. When our gut speaks, we do well to “listen” to it. What you lived through was alarming, living with the enemy, plus having one across the street. Jesus said that Satan comes to “steal, kill, and destroy,” using different sources to attack. I think that I might think too much. Sorry.

    skylar:

    I believe there is a generational curse on my family just because we are so extremely dysfunctional and nothing has ever seemed to be “right.” I can make a list:

    My mom is mentally ill
    Her mom was mentally ill
    Her dad was an alcoholic

    My dad’s mom was mentally ill (the story I heard is she actually tried to strangle my dad when he was born). She was actually institutionalized from time to time…I think she was in and out of the institution
    Both of my brothers were/are alcoholics
    We never, ever went on a vacation in our childhood
    There was just a lot of pain around…something was always “wrong”
    My dad was a good, hard working man, but there always seemed to be friction with him. He was easy going, but could also be abrasive
    My mother was extremely controlling with me

    I don’t know…does that sound like a curse? I don’t know anything about my great grandparents. I can only go back as far as my grandparents. Maybe my dad’s dad brought some evil spirit with him over from Poland. Who knows. I just KNOW that my family was not normal.

    BlueJay,
    actually he spent the 18 years we were there getting other spaths to move in around my house. I was unaware until the end. There were at least 5 that I know of. There was 2 good neighbors that he couldn’t kill, force to move or convince them to hate me. Then, of course, there were the cops whom he convinced to create havoc for me. They were calling me demanding that I show up and prove I was still alive. 😯

    All this covertly done in a grand scheme to cause me to kill myself because who would ever believe that there were so many people involved in this conspiracy. Surely I must be paranoid? But, he himself, told me in a “tell”, “You wouldn’t believe how EASY it is for me to find guys who are willing to rape a girl if they think she is drugged up.”

    This tells me that he can find evil people easily and anywhere, it doesn’t necessarily have to be rape since 3 of those neighbors are women. He has proven that evil is easy to find. Now that I know the red flags, I know he was right.
