Narcissit Mom used to belonged to a cult (I was a kid but I'm pretty sure that's what it was). She believes she is a prophet, God's wife and the most holy and righteous person walking this earth. She claims to be saved. Growing up she instilled my siblings fear of God but only to benefit herself, to obey her or else they will go to hell and be cursed for life. Now everyone are adults 40yr olds and to date she manipulates them and controls them. They live in filth because mom is a hoarder and forces them to live like this, they don't celebrate birthdays/holidays, no one can date, all money is handed to her, no one can have friends, no one has ever had a friend come over, can't talk to anyone on the outside world, they don't talk to any family members, in fact they don't talk to anyone they are completely secluded, can't go out at all, the beach sand has never touch their feet, they're no allow to take showers as mom starts harrasing them why are they showering is it because they are dating or plan to go out, is like a prison. All in the name of God.

I know they hate their living situation, but can't leave or kick mom out (btw they house is own by my sibiling not mom) because they have no one else in the world. They have no friends or family and they are desperately yearning for love so they try to get it from mom. They hate me because I don't want to live with them and be like them. I don't talk to them. Their lives revolved in making my life miserable simply because I live a "normal" life, have friends, date, go out, celebrate holidays. If they ever saw me dress up they will beat me and tear all my clothes, just like the Cinderella movie. They want me to be miserable like them so bad they dedicate their lives to make making my life miserable and all this by orders or mom because she hates me. But mom claims is in the name of God.

I have prayed and prayed and prayed for nearly two decades so that God helps mom come to her senses and so that my siblings wake up and see she is actually hurting them. But everything just gets worst and worst. I had a close relationship with one and rocky one with others, but now all relationships are broken. They hate me and are mad that I am living far away from them enjoying my freedom. My question is: When will God listen to my prayers and stop mom from destroying everyone? Will my siblings ever wake up?

Oh honey, I'm so sorry. This must be so incredibly hard for you.

I believe the best thing is for you to concentrate on your own relationship with God. You can leave them in His hands. Trust that He is well aware of what is going on with them.

It's okay! You can breathe!

Keep strong in your study of the Bible.
Join a good Bible believing church.
Enjoy fellowship with other Christians.

If you spend all your strength looking back and agonizing over your family, you are missing out on the full life God has promised you! Trust God. It's okay to sink deeply into your faith. You aren't being a bad daughter, a bad sibling. You are being the wonderful, joyful, loving child of God that you became on being Born Again into your new life in Christ.

Thank you for your kinds words, I have been looking to join church right now I only listen to preachers online, but doesn't feel the same. I am concentrating more on me, I am scare they will find me and hurt me as I have been hiding out. So I am hoping God doesn't allow them to hurt me that is why I want my sisters to wake up so they can stop my mom.

This is abuse as her children now as grownups. Domestic abuse can be reported without giving your name.

Someone needs to " come and see" the living conditions so these adults can break free.

As birdinmypalm has said you can only help by praying for the situation,keeping yourself strong in the Lord and report her to the authorities.

I'm not sure where you are at ,but can you move to another state or another part of the country?

What about other relatives,can they help?

Hang in there close to God,he never fails us. He will direct you. Praying for this ,sister.

The interesting part is we have large extended family yet we dont talk to anybody cause we were never allowed. We dont know our cousins, aunts, uncles nobody. My sibilings are so far in this, they need some deep therapy to come out of it. Deep down inside they dont want to live like this but they stand and support by mom that's why I fear for my safety. Unfortunately I am not able to move far away. I am not sure if my prayers are being heard, I am looking for God's direction but feel so lost right now

You are being HEARD and now have others joining in prayer with you.

Step back,remember the prophet in the cave waiting for God to speak to him.
It was not tin a way he thought but in a small still voice!

God is answering you and you may not know from which direction or hear it coming.

Stand fast put this in God's hands and have peace in your heart!

If something should be directed at you,God already knew about it and he will be at your side.

I'm sorry you all were brought up this way in abuse and it is ABUSE!

can you name what the cult was?
Sounds awful but I dont think you are alone, there are probably many others in your situation...if the cult is widespread.

what about your dad?

Pray for angels to get your siblings out...they surely need delieverance...sounds like your Mom is being a bit of a Lots wife. (without Lot)

I've had similar issues. Pray for deliverance. Be cautious how you communicate about your parents though. I know that's probably extremely difficult, but... underestimating how seriously the Lord takes that can get you chastised pretty good.
