I'm sure it's made her so much more stressed. The bad eye surgery and the other eye forming a cataract too.

No, I won't get involved there, she says they are all wanting her money from the property she owns. She's done so much therapy over the years from the molestation issues.

I can do so much but she's so into the born again world and no way do I relate. Her siblings have a hard time accepting where she's gone.

Of course, I want her to keep her sight.

It's a tough situation...here's hoping the best.

Dec 7? We can make a phone call and change our Supplemental Ins. Co. for Medicare from Oct 15-Nov 7...one phone call does it. Could it be diff in diff states? I just changed from Kaiser, will take effect Jan 2019.
Her church can be notified...Born Agains can come over and pray the demons away...might give her peace of mind.
That is, if she is open to a phone call to make a date to come over.
(If she doesn't have a church...just call a Charismatic church...they will love hearing
she is born again and will help.)

Every bodies got some demons or other in the homes , and when people get sin they can get rid of they got fallen angels there too ..... Only way to get rid of these is to rebuke them in Jesus name or bind and loose them to the name of Jesus ...... Witches could do it but there are more demons around witches then the demons in the home

Dear oh dear!! 2018! If people like hljc were in charge we'd still be burning old women with black cats at the stake in the market square on Saturday afternoons. The mind boggles!

As an agnostic who denies all the false religions and superstitions of this plagued world, I think all that it means is that you guys are doing way too much to encourage each other's anxiety/stress and superstitious thinking. Sage might help some people relax but it isn't going to do anything about the imagination going wild.

Furthermore, it seems her counselors/psychologists for the childhood trauma have failed, likely they encouraged her growing religiosity and were Christian/religious themselves. I would encourage some more centered and rational discussions.

For one thing, going blind from sickness or age isn't the end of the world. Life might become more challenging in that way but sometimes it helps people to have more challenges.

The whole family issue is probably just being blown out of proportion by everyone involved as well. The family is likely concerned for the same reasons you are: leaving a property sitting there is a big gamble. And it is not like religious property which is given the special privilege of being tax-free, lowly normal worker property comes with accumulating costs and dangers.

The family would definitely understand that she should do what is best for herself too, but they might also be aware that she cares for her progeny, and so even for her own longer-term goals she is possibly jeopardizing them.

I'm sure the issues are complex, but everyone can take a step back, a deep breath, and come at the problems from a different, more focused, angle.

I would sit with her and keep her company. She is your friend and she makes her own decisions. She wants a witch doctor? Help her find one, preferably with a therapeutic background.



Her property and money should not be your concern, and you talking to her about them might make her suspicious.

I agree with Miss Hepburn's suggestion about charismatic churches. They are good churches and the people there would be helpful.
