Oh dear. Well Fr Ripperger has the official prayers in his book of deliverance prayers and Msgr Rossetti usually prays to break the curses in his deliverance sessions. I would strongly advise praying them.
Do you think that since my mother was adopted as a 1 year old baby by the Catholic man who married my grandmother, that spiritual authority was transferred to him and any curses from my grandfather's freemasonry were broken? Thankfully I just learned that he hasn't gone to meetings in a few decades. His wife asked him to stop going when she married him.

I asked myself that for a number of years after I had strokes and my family fell apart. What if it WAS all my fault, and I couldn’t remember clearly because of the strokes. A highly intelligent individual with a perfect memory like my daughter is capable of diabolical gaslighting, manipulation and control that makes you question EVERYTHING. I’ve lived here on my friend’s property for six years now and join them for evening rosary and family events. My friend has said for years to stop beating myself up over all of it, that if there was anything pathological about my personality they would know about it by now. If anything as far as they’re concerned I’m both too nice (in person at least) but too bull headed lol! Until you’ve lived through a loved one’s diabolical narcissism you have no idea how bad it is. Unfortunately I’m the scapegoat my daughter has turned the entire family against. I have no communication with any of them whatsoever. My daughter has written for liberal Catholic blogs and newspapers. I finally realized I no longer had to twist myself into knots over my family situation when I read something she wrote in a national liberal catholic magazine that was just so preposterous and completely dissociated from reality that I could dismiss everything she ever claimed or said.
He also says if anything ever happened to me and they showed up here, he would run them off with his shotgun lol! (He knows more of what I’ve been through than anyone. I’ve shown him my daughter’s Patheos blogs and other articles.)
Yeah I can't tell you how many times I struggled through my whole life with what I should or shouldn't believe that my mom blames on me (like her and my dad's divorce), vs. having a really honest assessment of my own sinfulness and guilt. I know that the normal human tendency is to think we're better than we are. That's what I'm always afraid of. I can't imagine that the narcissist believes they are terrible but just pretends to others that they instead are the terrible ones. I think that, due to a blindness to self, they truly believe that others are the problem, and not themselves. That's what gives me pause, every time I begin to think that something is just someone else's problem...instead of focusing on my own sinfulness, failings and pride.
“The true faith to the Lord having been forgotten, all order and all justice would be trampled underfoot and only homicides, hate, jealousy, lies and dissension would be seen, without love for country or family. The Holy Father will suffer a great deal. I will be with him until the end and receive his sacrifice. “People will believe that all is lost. Nothing will be seen but murder, nothing will be heard but the clash of arms and blasphemy. The righteous will suffer greatly. Their prayers, their penances and their tears will rise up to Heaven and all of God’s people will beg for forgiveness and mercy and will plead for My help and intercession. And then Jesus Christ, in an act of His justice and His great mercy will command His Angels to have all His enemies put to death." https://fatima.org/news-views/the-apparition-of-our-lady-of-lasalette/ The cross of our times, I am sorry for everyone experiencing it
Oh absolutely it is... My friend said she has a narcissistic mother who is a raging alcoholic. She told me her mum kept saying she was the bad one. She just revealed to me that she's on the spectrum. My heart is shattered & now things make more sense with her situ. She's no contact with her family because she said she had to save her life. She said she was gaslight so much that something was so incredibly wrong with her. I experience that with my parents & family. My family is very much like the Vatican. Everyone sits around in their comfort while ppl are abused. It's very sad. I pray their hearts change & they realise it's important we set a Holy example for everyone...
This is exactly what happens in these situations....lines get blurry as to what's what, who has the problem etc etc. Narcissism, imho, is rampant in the world now like never before. Set strong boundaries for yourself in dealing with it. I say "it" because it's just a malevolent entity acting out through a human vessel. Msgr Rossetti's deliverance sessions have been a real Godsend for me in dealing with the same issues mentioned by so many here. It appears, at least on the surface, that narcissism and the Freemasonic influence over families affected by the curses attached to it could very well be linked...... St. John Climacus says the following, which I believe applies to any sin, not just slander: If you want to overcome the spirit of slander, blame not the person who falls, but the demon that prompted them to sin. ~ St. John Climacus It's very very difficult sometimes, but it's possible.....especially when it's someone you love.....but that doesn't mean letting go of the boundaries you set in dealing with such a person.....
You know, I would wonder that myself, but "narcissism" is so prevalent these days it seems like every family has at least one narcissist in it (or they think they do, at least.) I'm sure it's due to the absence of God in society, and the evils that found their way into everyone's homes over the last many decades... But it seems to me it's often a compounding of selfishness upon selfishness and pride upon pride, passed down through generations, with so much pain and dysfunction mixed in, it makes the narcissist believe they are a perpetual victim. It's because they have a huge hole inside them and it only grows the more they try to fill it by manipulating the people around them into loving and serving them. They are usually incapable of humbling themselves to sincerely apologize, because it is literally unbearable to admit that they could be wrong. It would destroy them. And this is because they have no real love or forgiveness for themselves because they can't comprehend the love and forgiveness of God. My mother and my sister are both like this, and it's only after spending my whole life praying to see them the way God does that I've begun to realize these things and understand how to talk to them. There's an understanding that there just never will be any kind of true reciprocating relationship, where we both feel safe to share our true feelings with each other. But I believe that my mother and sister are profoundly loved by God, and therefore worth being loved by me. And perhaps God places these people in our lives to break down our own pride and attachment and teach us how to REALLY love, expecting nothing in return. It gives us a very small taste of what Jesus feels. With a narcissist, you have to let go of your own "needs" and think only of what you can do for them. It's not healthy if you're doing it so they'll love and approve of you, but it absolutely can be healthy if you're doing it for the love of God and to bring a small glimpse of that love to the narcissist, who believes deep down that they are unlovable. It's an exercise for our own souls... a speedy way to grow in love and virtue, because swallowing our pride and apologizing for the benefit of a narcissist is probably the most distasteful thing on the planet to do. But why? Because that's admitting guilt where we don't have any? Maybe it atones for the guilt we DO have. Maybe that kind of love covers a multitude of other sins. Anyway, I fight against the modern notion that the only way to deal with narcissists is to shut them completely out of our lives, to protect our own emotional health. I just feel like...someone has to love them! Idk. Sorry to ramble on and on about it. This is something I see daily on social media, and having lived my whole life as a scapegoat, I'm tired of being told by others that continuing to try to love my mother is just an unhealthy psychological response. I believe that if Christ doesn't give up on me, I shouldn't give up on others.
Yeah, I have definitely set boundaries with my mother, and a few with my sister. I try to limit communication with my mother to texting, because I can quickly walk away from a conversation that takes a terrible turn. She very rarely comes to my house and I don't go to hers (she lives across the state) because she turned on my 3 year old son once, and I won't allow that to happen to him again. But I check in on her and try to make her feel loved as often as I can. And she knows if she needs me, I'm here for her. She has told me many times she sees me as being a mother to her. And that's ok, because I don't need her in that way. Mary is my mother.
The victim mindset is toxic and is something that Jesus heavily warned against. I mean, it is one thing to be aware when a person is genuinely a victim, but it is another thing entirely for that same person to keep juicing it in their mind. It is a kind of navel gazing, and I don't say this to insult others but it is a dark eyed path. Very heavy for the person who chooses this road.
The whole DEI mindset is based on the victim mentality........scary when you think about it, because it's gone from the individual to a multitude of collectives......
The past is gone, the future has yet to happen, God calls us to the Eternal now. We can only heal others by healing ourselves and only God can accomplish this.
