Hi,
First of all I'd like to say that I am new to this forum. I have a really serious issue that I have tried to resolve but I can't do it on my own and I really need some help. I have a friend I talk with over the internet, she is so dear to me and she is like the older sister I always wished I had. She lives across the Atlantic ocean so going to her physically is just unrealistic for me.
(VERY long post ahead)
***TRIGGER WARNING***
She met a guy on-line as well who is, in my opinion, complete scum. He is manipulative and abusive beyond what I've seen before (and I have seen my fair share of abuse growing up with my family). He pretends to be depressed and lonely to get her to keep coming back to him (I can't say for sure he's actually pretending, but it really feels like it with how he words his sentences).
After he has her coming back to him to "help" him, he tells her that he wants to try and create spirits to help ease his loneliness by creating them in her head with hypnosis. I know this is how he does it because that's how he did it with me. He tries to convince the person to obey his every command, if he can't get you to obey a command he shows you a picture of a girl and tells you to picture her in your head and let her have control of your body. He put two in my head before I broke out of his trance, he's put a lot more in her head. Every time he asks her to do something she doesn't want to do he just creates a new spirit in her head to try and undermine her will.
She gave me her Skype info so I could change the password and lock her out of the account, I saw one of his "hypnosis" sessions with her in the chat logs and I was petrified with what he was doing. He is impatient and reckless, he's playing with her brain like she is completely expendable. I naively thought that it would end with me locking her out of the account, but she's addicted to him so it took her only a few hours to go back to him.
He realised that I was trying to keep her from talking to him so he started to try and make it more subtle when she was in a trance. It worked... I honestly thought I was talking with her when I was actually talking with a spirit he made to pretend to be her. Near the end of the night she tried to convince me and our mutual best friend (her partner) that she was done with him and that she couldn't keep worrying us like that. She'd said this so many times before and gone right back to him I was so suspicious. So many signs were pointing to her being manipulated by him to say all that.
I did something I am not proud of and that I feel physical sick for doing. I used her trigger word to get the truth out of her. I asked her to tell me who was controlling her body and she said the name of one of her spirits. I didn't know what else to do, I kept using her trigger word to remove all these "spirits" from her head and relinquish any power that trigger word had over her. It took me a few hours to do it, and I felt sick the entire time... I was so worried I'd screw up and damage her in an irreparable way.
While I was doing this hypnosis stuff on her I asked her if she was talking to the guy, but she said she wasn't. I was still a bit skeptical because I saw that he was still on-line on Skype. I got through it all though, and she seems a lot better now, but the guy messaged me only about 10-15 minutes after I finished with her. He was cussing at me and telling me he hated me and wanted me to go die. This really worries me because he "realised" what I'd "done" only 10-15 minutes after I finished. That makes me wonder if maybe he was just pulling her strings the entire time to make me think I'd "won".
I don't know what to do any more. She gave me her new Skype's info, and her email's info, but the spirit was the one who gave me the Skype info... I can't help but feel like it's all just a huge elaborate plan to make me and my friend's partner think that we "won". I feel like she might have another Skype account we don't know about that she's talking to him on.
I'm so incredibly worried and I have no idea what I can do about it. I've told her room mate about it so he can help keep an eye on her, but even then I don't know if that will be enough. I'm terrified of what he'll make her do... some of the things I saw him trying to do was so revolting.
I've told her about this forum, and I hope that she might use it to get some help, but I don't even know if it's her or if it's just another spirit acting as her.
I'm soooo sorry for such a long post, I am just so so worried and I didn't want to leave any details out.
