((((Carrieann))) my mom is schizophenic and told me things like devil would get me, even dead father might come back like in Pet
Cemetary. What helped me is faith in higher power. I believe that there is evil, but not like my mom thought and higher power is there to protect me whenever i call and higher power is more powerful than any evil anywhere. I'm so sorry for what you have
been through and still going through. Hugs.
