    The story about the thirty something year old son is absolutely sad. His mother probably had NPD and conditioned him to be that way and he didn't even realize it. Now he probably have codependency. It is a horrible, viscious, and devastating pattern that the enemy have been passing through family for years. But JESUS IS BREAKING THAT IN THIS SEASON IN THE MIGHTY AND MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES. AMEN. ❤❤❤

      Pardon me. Sir, and I have all the respect in the world for you and am sooo grateful for your teachings. But, I must correct a wrong thinking on the part of the lady at the well. She was married and divorced 5 times because she was barren. It was legal for men to divorce if the wife could not bear children. She must have been beautiful and intelligent for men to "line up" to marry her. She did not ruin her marriages. This is not taught because we dont know the Jewish customs and laws and way of life they lived back then, in ancient times. Thank you Sir, again. You help me so very much with your wisdom. I just felt the need to stand up for this lady who has gotten such a bad rap. 💛

Don’t see yourself as your abusive family does. See yourself as God does. If you have any negative or toxic thoughts, that’s an attack from the enemy and they’re lies.

I was about 7th on the totem pole. He cheated on me and his parents welcomed the mistress!! It gets worse. My mother who has tried to control me spent time with my husband behind my back. My mother feels she did nothing wrong and still wants to control. Unfortunately I’m going to have to get a restraining order against my mother.

    I wonder what Christmas of 2024 is gonna look like. I’m saying this because I’m currently in a situation rn with my mother who is absolutely controlling and wants her plans to be in set then my own (She wants a house for us to live in, I want my own place for myself). So as I’m typing this I’m about to work next week for a dealership and I’m absolutely grateful for it, it gives me an opportunity to finally get a chance to move out before the middle of April once I have everything settled in a financial manner. And I know she’s going to freak out once I tell her, that is when I’m moved already in my own place. But for now, I need to speak and continue to vent to the lord himself. I’m grateful for god for the opportunity I have received. As I will always cherish it. With that being said, I hope to update you all when Christmas of 2024 arrives. If not, just know I tried. 👍

    He is right about the sisters being fellow conspirators to their father Laban. I found myself in similar dynamic / situation with my inlaws. We now have 4 kids & 18 yrs later finally recovering from being so enmeshed. My husband is like Jacob that didn’t have agency. He acted so weird & unprofessional at work (even flirty) but turns out toxic systems make him fawn. He survived the family system that way & when a similar system is around he will “act” the same way. In psychology they call them the flying monkeys to the narc. His mom is the narc and hubby will teeter totter between flying monkey or scapegoat. In order to be the scapegoat he will manipulate to be
    promoted to flying monkey. Pls pray for us, I am so drained. Standing in the gap to make sure my kids do not turn into toxic individuals themselves. Ultimatums do not work for them because they don’t see the hold of systems in their mindset.

She ruined everything through control manipulation, and narcissistic behavior tactics to steer my husband further and further away from our marriage.

    and his inheritance if he stayed married to me, he chose his inheritance and his mother destroying our whole family and now it started with our children

    Years ago, I knew a man in my congregation in his late fifties who despite living on his own was a nervous wreck, a spendthrift, complained all the time, worked a dead-end job and was estranged from his ex-wife (after she cheated on him years earlier for obvious reasons) and children. He was also obsessed with religion and conspiracy theories and would rarely talk about anything else.
    He also leered at and sometimes hit on younger women, some of whom where young enough to be his daughters.
    Others in the church put up with him out of a sense of Christian duty but otherwise kept their distance.
    As it turns out, he had an extremely controlling mother who still manipulated him even when she was on death's door in a nursing home.
    I enjoy a good redemption story as much as the next guy, but let's be realistic: if you can't navigate the vicissitudes of adulthood by a certain age, then you never will, and your life will never get better. The sad part is that it has so much to do with how you're raised, which is something over which no one has any control.

      In my case, I was traumatized to the point of literally not remembering a very significant and definitive time in my life as a young teen. So I was reacting to life, largely on an unconscious basis, until the memories came back and I realized that even my personality, priorities, etc. had been ASSIGNED to me by a narcissistic parent. I was shocked to remember that I used to be an extrovert. I have believed for DECADES that I am an introvert! Many other things have surfaced since these memories started coming back 13 months ago.
      As traumatic, heartbreaking and difficult it has been, I'm relieved and thankful for having my own personality back! And, it has brought me closer to God. Maybe pray for your friend. He sounds like a pain, but maybe he's suffering with something you cannot even imagine.

Anyone aspiring to help them can't be naive, they can't be easily triggered from past trauma and they have to have the discernment to know when they themselves are being handled. Most professionals won't touch them bc they have a career to lose if that patient starts making false accusations. Anyone else just ends up being an enabler or the enemy they have to destroy by any means. In my experience they can only change if they're willing to face their secret shame and admit what they've become which means seeing they've been wrong. Accountability is a serious problem for them so most never try to change.

It’s crucial for a child to develop decision making skills and learn from mistakes or else they will move in fear and won’t know how to function without their parents approval.even now as a young adult my parents still want to control my decisions. it really hurts me bc i want to move to a different state mind you i have my money saved, I have my own car that i bought, I have a certificate for the industry i want to be in and the state i want to go to has more opportunities for me. Also i plan on having a source of income during the whole process. my dad said he would only support me if I move out the way he wants me to move and wait how long he wants me to wait..but i can’t bc i feel ready mentally, emotionally, spiritually and i already have a plan. as a young adult i feel my decision is not respected and I’m constantly drained from explaining myself. I also have been emotionally manipulated, verbally abused as a child, gaslighted and guilt tripped by both parents. it’s wayyyy more trauma that should be added but that would be too much to type .it hurts me bc they are trying to make me feel like I’m being flip and selfish but i feel miserable in that house or even living in the same state as them. I feel im making the right choice for myself but ik they won’t support me BUT on the bright side i have supportive and loving family in the state that i want to move to so as long as i have them that’s all that matters :( but i don’t mind hearing you guys advice

    Absolute best sermon I have ever heard especially on this topic and coming from a pastor. Pastor Mark has changed my life so much since I started listening to him about 6 months ago!
    I grew up in a “Christian home” and went to Christian schools. Let me tell you they where all anything but Christian, so my views where always very flawed!
    I have a mother like this, she’s very extreme and a covert narcissist, my dad unfortunately knows how wrong she is and how she acts but never ever says anything about the abuse she throws out to me and my sister, my dad actually shuts down and stops talking to me if I put up boundaries with my mom, it’s very painful.
    I’m 42 by the way and divorced, I’m in a great relationship now and hearing this sermon will help my relationship and my future relationships with my boys.

The best advice I can give you to slowly move out of that situation is to start to go out more. Spend less time at home, and with them, this can include finding a job or internship. Like the preacher said don't send this to them because it might land you in a worse situation. Nonetheless this is what is helping me realize alot of what I'm doing is not just me but me reacting based off how I was treated. I hope this helps. I will pray for you.

    Yeah, crying through several parts. But I thank the Lord that you are talking about things like this and bringing them out of the closet, so to speak. Even to those of us that know we have a problem, but try to stuff it and so not really deal with it, which prevents growth and maturity in Christ. Please continue just this way in your ministry. I so appreciate your openness and honesty. There’s not a lot of instruction like this available. Blessings to you, your family, and your church family.

    My mother was extremely controlling I walked on egg shells my whole life trying to make sure she didn't blow up, I'm almost positive she is bipolar but she would never dare go see someone and admit she has a problem. She would absolutely rage over the smallest things and throw things, break things, yell, slam doors so hard that the house shook, she absolutely traumatized my father and my sister and both of them suffered from alcoholism because of it. They raised me in the most watered down lukewarm church ever and they never read their bible. Neither of them were christ like and I had to read the bible on my own to find out the truth. I have complex ptsd due to the child abuse and am extremely hypervigilant because of it and I have serious adhd symptoms and who knows what else is wrong with me. My whole life my parents told me I was the problem and never showed me love or affection, I think my mom has an evil spirit living inside of her and it caused everyone in my family serious pain and suffering and now I am struggling with my faith because of all that was done to me and not being told the truth about who God is and what he says in his word. My dad said that he started to read Genesis when my parents almost got divorced. My parents think that reading the bible is optional as a christian and I am so upset that they raised me this way.

    My mother was very controlling. She wanted me to stick around pay the bills. She wanted to use my car because she didn't want to buy one and her car was old and needed to be replaced and when I put my foot down and said enough's enough I can't even use the car that I'm paying for. Her response was fine. I'll just sell everything and live on the street. Well I'm early 20s. I don't want my mom to live on the street but I eventually do move away but she was manipulative and she tried to get others involved and the reason I know this was I constantly got calls from people telling me I should move back in and take care of my mother. Why am I not taking care of my mother getting chewed out by several people? And one of them even saying that I should leave my wife and kids quit my job move in and take care of my mom and when I told him I'm not leaving my wife I'm not quitting my job. I'm not leaving my home. His response was it's your mother. You take care of her like I've tried my best. I'm not moving back to a town I don't want to live in and I'm not moving in with her house. So this was something that went on until she moved in with me and then all of them manipulation and stuff came to an end. Me and my mother had a very good last several years of her life but for the most part that's what I had to deal with. It was just me. My brother also had to deal with it too

    How many times have I felt like I was a mistake, because of the way my parents (who've been divorced since March 1984; my mother actually cheated on my dad in December 1983 because she refused to wait for the divorce to be finalized! And why the divorce? Because, I believe, in part because my dad refused to kiss her... you know.) treated and raised me. Also because of being molested at a 6 and bullied ever since SECOND GRADE! Believe it or not, because I saw this song listed in the closing credits of the wonderful Tom Hanks film about Mr. Fred Rogers "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" called "I Am a Mistake" I looked it up on CZcams, ignored the fact that it was Daniel the tiger puppet singing to Lady Elaine and just listened to the words. I actually cried like a baby because I felt the same way. Look it up and listen for yourself, and you'll see what I mean.

    I had issues going in that direction too, let's put it like that. It wasn't that me old Mum RIP was purposefully controlling, forcefully imposing her will or abusive...or no, wait, the latter in homeopathic doses she was...it was just, she wasn't really capable of letting go of her children when they were no longer children. I was born one of 11, and my tough luck of all those was that as a youth I let my curriculum vitae go against the wall somewhat. Which resulted in being financially able to leave the parents' home only at 28...so I received the full dose of the above described. Somehow thanks to Yeshuah I did find my way to put the most aching foot down when needed, but she wasn't accustomed to such, which meant things went tough between us two. The good thing was, it wasn't too long after I did move out that God led me to move to another city in another part of the country, which was, I can only say, his sheer mercy...!

    I'm 42 (almost 43) and single by choice. Childhood decision. Why? 1) My mother is selfish, uncaring, manipulative (quite possibly a sociopath), cares more about her friends than her family, has been married 5 times (and divorced 5 times), all to men just like her...(Except for the obvious similarity, she has nothing in common with the Samaritan woman at the well) My half-sister worships Satan and is involved with witchcraft and the like. 2) My dad is also selfish, uncaring, cares more about his FIFTH wife than he does me... You know, I'm glad I got saved back in 2001 and let God take over as my Father. I'm well aware of how kids can, as adults, make the same mistakes their parents did. But I refuse to go down that road, so I'm intentionally waiting until both parents pass away, and then until God blessed me with a woman who also loves Jesus Christ as much as or more than I do. If you think this is wrong, you might want to read all of Ezekiel 18.
    If by some miracle they get saved, repent of all their sins, and are Godly sorry for the way they treated me all my life (and not just sorry they got caught), great. But if not, it's on them. Yes, I tried to share the Gospel with them, but they've rejected it, thinking they're good enough to get to heaven. So I have no choice but to wash my hands of their sick, sinful behavior.

    Pastor, haven’t you ever read the Bible verse: Jacob, I loved, but he saw I hated? God said that he really liked whatever it was about Jacob and that he really disliked whatever it was about Esau. You’re almost making Esau like the moral example. For somebody who is so girly and wimpy he sure lifted that heavy stone and went in for the kiss pretty fast. he may have stayed at home, but maybe they had a gym in the house? You never know. Abraham and Isaac were wealthy men. They just used stones and calisthenics or something. I know you’re trying to make a betrayal of Esau and Jacob, but maybe you’re taking Jacob beyond where he really was as a naïve person.

They compete with their son's wives for "first place" and cause so many problems. Mothers: Please back off and allow your son's to become strong independent men. They are not yours to keep for life. If you raise them well and give them respect and space to be their own person, you will never lose them. Make yourself a pleasure to be around. Not a thorn in his side. You don't need to buy him underwear anymore. You don't need to send him packages of dental floss or shaving cream. This is insulting to me as his wife. I've got this. You can back off now and enjoy your own life. Let us enjoy ours without your micromanaging and interference. It's infuriating.

    Mark Driscoll, a true expert on abusive, controlling relationships because he's never had any relationship where he wasn't in control of all around him.

    The opposite can be true when an adult child tries to control everything an elderly parent tries to do. No senility or absence of ability to make their own decisions. The controlling borders on abuse to the point of telling them they are to old to do anything! This parents life will be shortened because they will lose the will to live….😢

    It's not funny to make fun of mentally challenged people
