I can't stop loving this one person -- but I understand that I can only love her at a distance -- pretty much the distance of memory. I politely decline any relations. I hope your family member ends up deciding to love the sociopath from a safe distance. Prayers up for you. Care to share any details, or is it too ... just, too?
It’s almost like losing someone sane to a cult. I pray for this person to have a Damascus road experience, I beg God to fight for his lost sheep and help this person escape from this snare.
