Black magic

General Question

My whole family practices and consumes black magic. They proclaim themselves Muslims but are not considered Muslims given the seriousness of the sin. I have always been against it. I hate my family, I hate the education they gave me. I don’t want to spend the rest of my days with them. I haven’t visited the family in over a decade. I don’t go to the baptism, wedding, or funeral. I wish to no longer be linked to Africa and my origins. In my childhood, my parents forced me to wash myself with preparations. My mother puts things in the food. My parents neglected me emotionally. They send a lot of money to Africa when sometimes we are in need (it has already happened several times that there is no electricity, hot water or even food). In this world, you can’t trust anyone even when they have good attentions.

I plan to cut all contact with them in a few months and leave France to move abroad, but that may not be possible; I am condemned to have a shitty life with shitty jobs.

What’s the point of living if it’s to have a miserable life?

How do you deal with the fact that you have relatives in this kind of practice?

For those who have cut off all contact, what is your experience? Is your situation improving?
