I’m not even sure where to begin, my heart is so heavy and broken, my mind is so jumbled. All I know is that my baby needs help, urgently… please, with every piece of me I beg you to pray for her.
My baby is 23 years old and in a relationship that is quite literally killing her. I have seen her gone from a healthy weight to alarmingly malnourished and it is so painful and surreal watching it happen and knowing that her boyfriend absolutely needs her to be ill so that he can control her. From the second I met him I knew that something was off, I felt my spirit shouting to me and I immediately feared for my girl. His mother kept pushing and pushing for her to move in with them and the second she did I saw her slipping further and further away. Mystery illnesses that mirrored his own “mystery” illnesses started up, she was practically living in a doctors office, constantly having expensive tests done and not one came back showing anything at all, far less remotely conclusive. She was tiny to begin with, barely 5’2”, maybe 110lbs soaking wet… today she is less than 80lbs. Her boyfriend has arm chair diagnosed her with a plethora of ailments and medicated her with drugs no one is sure how he is getting. Nausea medication for cancer patients that are banned in the US (we are not in the US), medication for “chronic pain”, medication for “Crohns”, for “celiac”, he’s finagled antibiotics, sleep aids, antipsychotics, you name it he has produced it. He told me once that she is lucky she has him “because he understands”. He has systematically driven a chasm between my daughter and I and when our relationships shows signs of healing he ALWAYS steps in to stir the pot. He drives her everywhere and in acts of control he revokes his ability to give her a ride every time he perceives the destination could be threatening to the relationship. I made an emergency psychiatric appointment for her and she said she did not want to go with me and that he’d be taking her and minutes before they should have left he messaged to say he was feeling sick and could not take her. I insisted and got us a ride with a friend, we went to the appointment and as soon as we got home he showed up, miraculously healed, with a balloon.
There are so many instances that demonstrate the danger of him but right now my prayer is that she survives this! She has made two attempts on her life recently and I need her to wake up and see what is really going on, I need her to be enlightened! I’ve had people calling and messaging, out of concern after seeing her in the mall or the grocery etc, asking me if she’s ok, asking me what on earth is happening… she is disappearing before my eyes and I am terrified that her weight is irreparably damaging her organs. My final straw with this bum is that I am a single mother, we have a VERY tight budget and when I make meals I know that there is enough for my daughter and I to have x amount of servings and I plan our week that way… twice I have seen her, rail thin and weak, making a plate of food for him that is meant for her and he accepts it, from her boney hands he has the audacity, the lethal will, the selfishness to take it from her and eat it.
I am begging yall to pray for my baby! Pray that she wakes up and strengthens enough to see what is really happening and leaves! Pray that she has the strength to survive the inevitable turmoil that will come with the break up! Please pray that he lets her go! Please pray that when she leaves her resolve is unshakeable! Please pray that her suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, panic, feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, her feelings that no one likes her, her feelings that she has no future, that all of those malevolent feelings are left behind, that she is unshackled from them! Please pray for her healing mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually; boldly ask for miraculous healing!
I am so scared for my precious girl. This needs to end and her beautiful life must commence!
