A Dark Family Secret: My Father's Desperate Money Ritual
Growing up, my family's facade hid a sinister truth. Behind closed doors, we endured unimaginable suffering. My father's obsession with wealth and success drove him to commit unspeakable acts. This is my story, shared anonymously, hoping it will help others break free from similar darkness.
My father was once a thriving entrepreneur, owning a successful textile factory. He employed many and provided well for our family. However, his fortunes changed when cheaper imports flooded the market, making his products uncompetitive. Despite efforts to adapt, his business collapsed, leaving him deeply indebted.
A self-proclaimed "prophet" preyed on my father's vulnerability, promising wealth and success through twisted rituals. This false prophet exploited my father's desperation, feeding on his fears and greed. My father, blinded by hope, entrusted his fate to this deceitful individual.
The "prophet" instructed my father to mix human waste with food and feed it to us, his own children. This horrific act was supposed to bring prosperity, but it only brought suffering. My father became convinced that this ritual would restore his wealth, ignoring our tears and pleas.
The ritual continued for years, leaving emotional and psychological scars. We suffered in silence, ashamed and fearful. Our health deteriorated, and relationships crumbled. My father's obsession destroyed our family.
My mom, a dedicated teacher, was forced to take early retirement due to a devastating stroke. The ritual's dark impact was evident - her health, friendships, and overall well-being were shattered. Her retirement package is now our only means of survival. We've lost count of how many friends and potential romantic partners have distanced themselves from us, leaving us feeling isolated and rejected.
Since the ritual, we've experienced an unending streak of bad luck. My siblings and I are educated with degrees and honors, yet none of us can find jobs. We've been rejected everywhere, and it seems like the world is against us. We're convinced that the ritual is the root of our misfortunes.
Ironically, the prophet and his family are now thriving. They've built luxurious homes, own successful businesses, and live a life of opulence. It's as if our fates were exchanged during those twisted rituals. Their success is a constant reminder of our suffering.
We're trapped in this never-ending cycle of misfortune, and it's taking a toll on our mental health. We've tried to seek help, but the stigma surrounding ritual abuse makes it difficult to find support.
I wish to seek help for my mom because she's not getting better at all and my siblings and I wish for a break through from the shadows so that we can kick start our career's.
