Fresh Out of a Q-ish relationship.
Hi all, just like the title says. Met a girl and everything was perfect in the beginning. It was then revealed to me that she was a flat earther - should have been my first sign. A couple weeks in, I met her family and this was when everything changed; her mom was a batshit crazy lunatic screaming about the virus hoax and ivermectin. She thought Ivermectin cured everything, up to and including cancer and MS, Parkinson's, ALS, etc. Trump was sent by Jesus Christ and was carrying out His word. She also said she was depressed for years and had been prescribed medicines for depression and bipolar disease (she should have listened.) Within the first few minutes, she was telling me about the parasites and tapeworms she had been pooping out. She would take the horse paste, put it on rolled up pieces of bread, and eat it. My GF and her younger sister played right into it, brainwashed by the mom sadly. Planets weren't real, Antarctica was the land of hidden secrets, the ice wall - etc etc.
I had just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and that was another issue, since my GF and her nut family didn't believe in medicine (all doctors were evil liars). She wanted to home birth our kids if we had them, home school them, and deworm them. It finally came to a point where I couldn't take it, as I couldn't help but think she would give this crap to my kids or her mom would sneak it in their food (or mine, I was always hesitant to eat at their house).
There was also a strong religious affiliation with all of this too, as they were born again Christians. I have no problem with religion (I was raised Catholic but now I am mostly just indifferent), but these people were extreme. There was even a time that she was upset with me for drinking Liquid Death water as it expressed clear love for the devil on the packaging /s.
The moon landing was fake, outer space wasn't real, nor were the planets or moon (even the ones you could see with the naked eye) and they were all under a dome as described in the Bible (the firmament). All of these things in hindsight are insane and enough to make anyone crazy, but I really cared about her and wanted to ignore all of it, but in the end, I just couldn't.
Not sure if this is even in the right place or appropriate for this sub, I just needed to surround myself with likeminded individuals and vent a little bit. Luckily, it was only 6 months and we obviously don't have kids, so it shouldn't take long to heal and get over the breakup, the last 6 months have just been a whirlwind. I do have some extreme guilt I am dealing with for ending it - I feel really bad for my ex GF because I fear she will never lead a normal life as long as the mom is there in her ear, but I know it cannot be my burden. I am just a softie and can't help but feeling bad for her, even if she doesn't see anything wrong with any of it.
Thanks for reading, sending love to everyone!
