Ericraven,
Have you noticed what you've been doing on this site? I advised you previously of the fact that you contribute nothing to the discussion with these one-liners of yours: "Insane...Insane...Insane...Insane... etc., etc."
What you're essentially doing is taking pleasure in publicly humiliating those who are suffering. You can say what you like about me, I don't care. I'm as concerned for you as I am for Rosemary. Perhaps more than her, because she's been coping for 20 years, doing her best to survive, and you're about to explode.
You claim that Rosemary is mentally ill, again and again. What do I think is at the root of this behavior? First of all, if all you chalked this up to be was nonsense ramblings of one suffering severe depression and/or schizophrenia, you wouldn't bother visiting this site at all. You're looking for something. Your mother knew something about you or others that she couldn't have known through rational means, or she predicted a future event that came true, no matter how minor. Your anger and fear point to a potentially larger issue of denial. If you felt at all sympathetic toward Rosemary and didn't see any credibility to the spiritual side of her struggle, you would never behave in this cruel manner toward her. It would be comparable to walking into an asylum and shouting "Lunatic!" to every patient you pass. They would all cry, but you'll notice that Rosemary is persevering, not crying. She's tolerant of you, and you need to respect her for that gift she has bestowed upon you.
The fact that you take this pleasure in others' misery has built you up to be precisely that type of entity you claim does not exist. You are a stereotypical example of a demon with the behavior you're exhibiting. You're suffering though as a result of unresolved issues in your past, and you're not inherently evil. No one is evil.
As with any malevolent spirit, perhaps Rosemary is experiencing a benefit from your rants. It keeps her convinced on some level that she needs to get well and pushes her to strive on. But, the least you could do is say something constructive if you're going to exploit pain in the attempt to help her. I know that she doesn't want you to be revoked from this website, and that is a sign of strength on her part, not mental illness. There's much she can teach you, but you're not listening because you see your mother every time you read her posts and the negative emotions impede your education.
At the very least, you have figurative demons of anger and fear. So think about this the next time you find it novel to criticize those who are dealing with genuine spirits.
Let one of us help you, or seek help through a therapist if you aren't already. I'll do my best to help you as I'm sure HK, Rosemary, and Azalin will. Tell us what evidence you may have found to give merit to a spiritual element in your mother's condition, or tell a therapist privately. I'll listen, and I'm here to help as many others are.
Azalin and I have strong disagreements on matters of organized religion and, more specifically, exorcism, but his years of education and experience have likely led to extreme giftedness in the area of family therapy. At the very least, he or someone could make a referral for you, because you're not in a sound mental state at this time.
FrankBlunt,
There are many things that are wrong with your theory, one,Rosemary has had these problems for several years now, and if I'm not mistaken, she hasn't seen a doctor since then and continues to reject medical advice, now do I believe in possession? Of course, but even medical doctors know what they are talking about when they see it, does this mean they will always be correct? No, they are human.
I oblidge everyone to go through and read my posts that I've written earlier, I don't want to have to repeat myself and waste my time posting so some people will finally get my point after the 15,000th time of repeating it
Another thing, Rosemary has jumped into this whole situation and calls it possession at first start, I have to say, it's the same thing as a doctor who says your crazy when in fact you are possessed by spirits, I think if your going to get your facts straight you might want to confront a medical psychologist with a religious perspective, they know the medical fields as well as other devoted beliefs concerning possession and exorcism.
Ericraven has every right to say what he thinks, although I may agree he has some emotional problems he needs to work out, I can see why it would be very stressful telling a person that there is more than one explanation when the only response they give you is: "there is only one for sure genuine explanation, I'm sticking to it, and my opinion is accurate no matter what you say against it."
I don't understand why some people would buy this, it sounds all psychotic to me and needs to be treated with medication, I mean, even a person possessed always illminates the other possibilites, the other reasonings and causes for their problems, before EVER considering it supernatural or for what it is.
Are people getting a little two serious on this issue with Rosemary? A little, including myself, but you have to admit, it's frustrating when you take a ride on a rollar coster that never ends gets pretty tiring, especially when it may tend to go backwards and fowards and stop here and there, it would drive anyone nuts!
This has nothing to do with faith or believing in spirits and possession, it has to do with Rosemary's denial, and her consistent thought pattern that her way is the only way and her truth is the only truth.
I believe in the paranormal, but not in this case, there is no question that it is full blown psychosis, and until she sees a doctor are we going to know these things for sure, but I'm willing to bet money on it that if priests turned her down so will these paranormal investigators, and if they perform an exorcism, regardless of any photography, it will end in weeping and crying, pain and sorrow.
Again, for the love of god, answer my previous statements and then let's move on shall we?
