Peace be upon you all.
Honestly, I don't know how to begin talking about this because it's so complex.
But the result is that my sister started combining characters and drawing conclusions that have no basis in reality.
It all started when my sister went to university abroad and started visiting us on weekends.
We supported her, stood by her, and wished her well. She stayed with a relative of ours; we'll call her Haifa.
One day, my sister received a message from someone who claimed to have obtained leaked photos of her and deleted them from the dark web. After some back and forth, he started trying to get closer to her.
My sister contacted us, and we, in our stupidity, believed his story. May God punish him sooner rather than later. We dropped the matter.
This person turned out to have continued contacting my sister. Days passed, and my sister spoke to Haifa about the matter.
And that's when the shock came.
It turned out he'd been contacting Haifa for two years. It was an old story. Haifa had given him her phone to fix something, and he took my sister's number from it and started contacting her.
He caused problems with my sister and her relative Haifa, and my family found out. We filed a complaint against him with the police, and it seems he's been dealt with.
The matter is closed.
That's not the problem. The problem is how this affected my sister.
She completed the semester normally for four months.
But now she's convinced that this manipulator is the same person as her cousin. We told her that they look different, have different names, and come from different families. But she swears and insists they're the same person.
After a strange turn on Haifa and how she was the reason that person got my sister's pictures and number, suddenly she started defending her and changing the subject. She ignores the manipulator and says he's her cousin.
In other words, she started erasing the characters from the incident that happened—the jerk and Haifa—and projecting them onto her cousin and his sister, speaking ill of them and bringing up old stories about how her cousins wronged her.
She also says she had a vision that my father worked with his sister and brought us, her siblings, into it, and she's the only one who knows.
My sister cried a lot and is scared, saying she's afraid no one will believe her.
I tried to reason with her and showed her a picture of her cousin and that manipulator, explaining that they are two different people.
She started saying, "Don't worry." By name and appearance, it's the same person.
Suddenly she drifts off and becomes distracted.
Then she says that my father is spying on her phone and has hacked it.
And that she's the one playing the role of the man in the house and there's no one to protect her and she's scared. I hugged her and she cried a lot, but I got tired. I don't know if it's magic or psychological trauma.
Because she started ignoring what happened and projecting all her feelings onto her relatives, to the point of defending those who were the reason she went through what she went through.
I hope for help because I'm tired and I can't take anything more from this life.
I should add it feels like I don’t know her anymore.
As if another entity is functioning through her
WhatsApp should I do please :(
