Sad ):

So a while ago I went "crazy" and I texted my family members about a curse that happened in our family, and how my family is cursed. Long story short, I landed myself in the mental hospital, and no family member of mine has looked at me the same. I'm an outcast.

so I’ve done something similar and my family cut me off. If I have kids I will never cut them off because of how they feel smh

It's a situation I don't know how to handle /:

[Curry223 in reply to artisticcatowner]

so what I did was try to reach out every once in awhile(even if they don’t respond). Say something simple like “thinking of you”. I haven’t seen much of my family in years but i do try to text them to let them know Their on my mind. They can’t stay mad at you forever

[artisticcatowner in reply to Curry223]

Thats a good idea. I am struggling to keep in contact because of the whole thing that happened

Hi artisticcatowner - Coming at this as an active Christian, I would like to say there must have been something in your mind to trigger this 'crazy text.' The very fact there is a curse that happened to your family sometime ago is a very daunting thought, and must have weighed heavily not only in your mind but also in your heart. For this is the reason you send this crazy text. We all know the speed with which technology works is mind blowing in that as soon as we push the 'send button', it's out there to do all sorts of damage to many people. Curses are very real - not only in African communities (where I have had experiences of witness) but also in modern day countries, like the U S A; UK; and most westernised areas of the world. They can be scary - you don't say what the curse was, but fear is a very real emotion. (1) Curses can be removed! By trust, faith, hope (for me that would be in the Trinity o Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) - other faiths have other their own methods of release. I think/feel the first thing you should at least look at is bring this curse into the open - not on your own, but with someone who has understanding of such evil - and they are works of evil - (2) Nothing is beyond God's grace- and the Good News is that He wants to bring healing to you. If you need any help in finding such help in U S A - although I am in UK I have contacts many places - please contact me on 'chat' I will need to know your home State/City.

Next I am sure the experience of being admitted to a mental hospital was a very frightening experience for you, doubtless you will have seen and heard things in that place that will stay with you for a very long while - I shall pray for you, and ask all people of faith on this forum to pray with me for your peace and release of mindful things.

The next thing is to build bridges with those family members you have hurt. Perhaps there is just one or two members of that family to whom you could approach and explain your actions and humbly ask forgiveness and try to get them on board to help you. This will take tact and diplomacy, and may well bring pain before peace can come. Maybe it would be appropriate to write, taking time to put words together that are legible to the reader. It is surely worth a try.

May I ask 'how long ago did this outburst happen? Please keep us informed and know that we care.

So I've been a christian my whole life. I think I shocked a lot of my family members, but I had such a strong sense to speak it. My parents divorced, my sister is a druggie, my dad is an alcoholic.

I saw things in them that needed to be spoken.

and it happened a while ago, a few months. I talked to my family and I think everything is okay, but I know they think of me differently.

[Babe1213]

Being a Christian is a vert strong positive. I think therefore you need to have that curse removed - possibly before you do anything else. Many people laugh at curses, they're evil. If there is anything I can do to help just say the word. As far as your family go, you say, 'I think I shocked a lot of my family members', you probably did, and you probably said something they didn't want to hear - thing is: TRUTH HURTS, you hit a chord with them. As a Christian you must now prayer the situation, praying especially for your family asking for GOD to release you all from that which is holding you. It won't happen overnight, but be persistent. You say, you think everything is okay, but they think of you differently - time is an important healer, give them chance, you have rattled cages with truth. Be easy on yourself, and learn to love yourself, a Christ loves you. xx Blessings coming your way.
