What’s The Best Way To Live Peacefully With A Witch?

My mother and I live with my sister. She is only 24 but she has her own car and drives her own car. No, she is not doing any work that is earning her enough to afford this kind of lifestyle. She gets these assets and other fancy possessions from men she dates.

I am 21. I believe I am at an age where I should see where my life is heading. Unfortunately, I feel lost with no direction. Everything I do doesn’t work. I have been trying to find a job so I can gain some financial control over my life but I haven’t had any success with that.

Out of frustration, my mother and I started visiting churches and prophets. We wanted to understand if everything going on in my life was tied to spiritual reasons or if it was just bad luck.

Every church and every pastor who prayed for us mentioned my sister’s name. They said she is a marine spirit and that she has married my mother and me spiritually. One pastor told us that my sister took my favour and destiny. “It is the reason men give her things so effortlessly yet nothing works for you.”

The reason we kept going to different places is because my mother and I never believed those stories. We kept saying, “Pastors are always accusing family members of witchcraft to sow discontent among families.” Even after all the prophets who told us the same thing, I still didn’t believe my sister was a witch or a marine spirit until something happened recently.

Last week my mother visited a friend and came home late. My sister got angry and asked her, “Where were you all this time? Whom did you go to?”

The tone of voice she used, you would think my mother was a child living with her. It was so disrespectful. When my mother ignored her she picked a fight with her. While they were arguing my sister shouted, “Hand over your phone to me. I want to check it and know where you went. If you have a boyfriend, we shall see.”

I was shocked at her behaviour. In a moment, I even thought my sister was the mother and not the other way round. Either that or she was an angry husband accusing his wife of cheating. It was weird but what made it even more disturbing was the fact that she stopped talking to my mother after that night.

It has been a week now yet my sister still won’t talk to our mother. This made me start to believe the prophets’ words.

This same sister of mine used to date a married man and never listens to anyone’s advice. Now she is trying to control our mother and decide whom she should date. I don’t talk about her issues anymore because I have realised that every time I confront her, it leads to a quarrel, and I become seriously ill the next day.

Just yesterday, my uncle called my mother and said he had visited a mallam. The mallam claimed my sister is the reason my uncle cannot find steady work. My uncle is a graduate but is always broke and often asks my sister for money. The mallam said my sister has hidden my uncle’s money and wealth in the marine world and even plans to kill him.

The way things are going, we don’t feel safe in her house anymore. Unfortunately, we don’t have the money to relocate. So we are stuck with her whether or not we like it.

My question is, how do we navigate living with her peacefully until we move out? Also, how can we reclaim what she has stolen from us in the spiritual realm while still living under her roof? I am looking for a safe way to live with a serpent until we are out of her clutches.
