Once upon a time, in 2008, in the great pacific NW, there lived a young housewife who was also Mr. ambivalentmo's little sister.
Said sister had issues with depression her entire life, much like me.
One day, when her dbag tbm asshole husband returned home from work...
Instead of finding the 5 course dinner he insisted on being ready each night,( as he required),
he found his wife sobbing on the kitchen floor holding a knife.
She was on the phone with me, I was trying to calm her down....
She was telling me she just wanted to be done.
With everything.
As soon as I knew he was home, I asked to speak with him.
I basically told him his wife was experiencing severe suicidal depression, and she needed to go to the hospital immediately.
He hemmed and hawed, and said his daddy, also a dbag, was on his way over to give her a blessing.
Uh, NO! I said. she needs to go to the hospital NOW , and if you don't promise to take her, I'm calling 911.
He agrees.
3 hours later I recieve a phone call from her.
She apologises for"becoming hysterical" and "being a burden".
I tell her no worries, I love you. And how was the hospital?
Was she admitted, or still waiting?
and get this.....
Dbag DID NOT take her to the hospital.
Instead, he used his holey priestcrafthood to give her a blessing,
and....
TO CAST OUT THE EVIL SPIRITS THAT WERE CAUSING HER DEPRESSION.
Yes, I am totally serious.
She went on to tell me that dbag had been "inspired" to cast out the demons instead of taking his wife to the emergency room.
And its a good thing too, she said, dbag would have had to pay a $150 deductible.
What.
The.
Fuck.
She felt so much better because she had been told in the blessing, that if her faith was strong enough, her depression would be healed.
Guess what?
One week later she tried to kill herself.
When I spoke with her yesterday, she finally told me thatshe felt like even more of a failure because obviously, she had"allowed" Satan to discourage her.
And that she hadn't been healed because she didnt have enough faith.
And that "knowledge" pushed her right over the edge.
I spoke with her yesterday, she has since divorced dbag, stabilized her depression with the help of a wonderful counselor,
and is starting a new life.
She knows my story, and made some interesting points.
The cult that is the morg,
will never, ever heall anyone , especially of mental illness or depression.
It can only make it worse.
I know this sounds disjointed, but I felt I needed to post this for the lurkers.
One cannot pray away severe clinical depression.
It is a physical, brain chemistry imbalance exacerbated by situational, familial, and environmental issues.
It's 2012.
Evil spirits do not, and never have, caused mental illness.
