Im not sure there’s much hope for most of the people in this sub, but there was hope for me and my bf. Sometime during quarantine, we watched the Jefferey Epstein documentary- which is a true and very sad event- but my boyfriend decided to dig deeper. Somehow he ended up watching these long videos about human sacrifice, adrenochrome, I’m sure you’re all familiar. It got to a point where he would sit in bed and just question reality all day. We couldn’t enjoy movies, music, videos, and it was a miserable way to live life. He would even tell other people and family about his findings and it was truly embarrassing. Anyways, I’m not sure what hit him, but he finally realized how insane it was. I think what helped him see was when I talked to him about how crazy it was to believe that EVERY CELEBRITY was fake and in on this somehow. I got to reason with him. I truly think I am one of the lucky ones because I love him very much, but if it went any deeper or continued then I would have had no choice to break up, as I could not imagine a happy future with that kind of person. Best of luck to you all.

My Q mom believes the million Maga March is going to be chemtrailed with a 2.0 virus and it’s the reason why mask wearing is now encouraged for this group - but only outdoors :/

My Qhusband has transformed into someone who is very religious and it all seems extremely insincere and fake.
I don’t want to sound like I’m hating religion because I was raised with religion and went to church until high school. I actually started thinking about attending church to find support within my community and meeting new people as a way of dealing with/and getting away from his crazy Q stuff.
Three years ago when I brought up baptizing our child, he was completely against it. Now he buys Christian books for our child and himself. This is the first book I’ve ever seen him read in my 10 years of knowing him. Now he sends me music from Christian artists that he really enjoys. He’ll talk to me and say “my God given talents” or call me a “good Christian woman” and even says “everyday, I pray to God” or “I prayed today....”. He tells me he wishes we prayed together and wants to sit and read the bible together. I ask why he doesn’t go to church and he says he doesn’t have to go to church to worship God; he can pray at home. He will also go on a tangent that covid closed churches and small business but keeps Walmart open. I tell him our local churches have been open since September; he just responds with “churches are still closed in other places”... okkkkay.
When he was younger (maybe 10-15 years ago - I didn’t know him), he ripped up a bible and he cries about it to this day hoping he’ll get forgiveness. He blames it on the music industry (he’s a musician), saying it’s all evil. I was part of the same music industry and not once thought to rip up a bible.
He wishes certain political leader to be hanged and in everyday conversations, he can’t go without cursing. We’ve gotten into arguments and he’ll give me the middle finger. All of this doesn’t sound very Christian like and it all seems so fake to me. He said he doesn’t even like listening to his old music because the content. We’ve even argued about evolution.
I check his twitter/memes and he has ridiculous stuff about Trump being a man of god and angels cloaking him to guide him, or something similar. Trump???....a man of God??!?? It’s nuts. The person I built a marriage with is someone I don’t even recognize. Everytime he says anything religious, I can’t help but cringe.
Not sure what I’m looking for but are most Q people religious? Is he religious only because he fears evil? I sometimes feel like if I divorce him, I would be leaving a stranger anyways. Can they come back, he’s so different now.

My Dad the Ex-Cultist Became A Qultist (and we are all so exhausted)
This subreddit is honestly a blessing, and I am so glad it exists.
My dad is one of these people. He grew up in a cult (Jehovah's Witnesses). He recognized that it was a cult. He got out of the cult. I guess he's back in one now, except I'm not sure he can get out of this one.
Schizophrenia runs in the family. My mom has it, I have it, my sister has it, and my dad has always shown signs of having some sort of psychotic disorder as well. He's always been easily manipulated by things like this, and because of that, I always just thought he was kind of... extra obsessed, as though the people who put this misinformation out were speaking directly to him. He talks about voices, entities that speak directly to him, all that, just like the other members of my family who have psychosis, so, while I'm not trying to diagnose him with anything, I will say he has similar experiences.
My dad needs a Great Mystery or a Grand Evil or a Worldwide Scheme to cope with the mundane, but I do, really, really wish it Was Not This.
For awhile, I just thought my dad was getting into his little niche conspiracy thing like he always does, but, then, I started seeing more of this stuff. It was all over Facebook. I went to a local wallpaper store to buy a couple things, and the owner of the store was talking about it to the one other soul inside. The more I pay attention when I have to go out, I notice that people talk about it all the time here. This made me realize that QAnon is more wide-spread than I thought, but I did still think my dad was extra crazy. After all, I can explain to you how every conspiracy ever is intricately connected because they are all my father has talked about for the past ten years (or longer-- when did the first Assassin's Creed come out?).
He has always been such a kind, empathetic individual. Both of my parents are conspiracy nuts, and they do feed off each other since they're still friends after being divorced, but the difference is that my mom believes in Ancient Aliens and my dad thinks that Black people are hired by the Democrats to protest BLM, people trying to get across the southern border are also hired by the Democrats, and that clones live in bunkers underneath the country and that earthquakes are caused by destroying deep, underground networks of cities and tunnels.
These things are two separate alternate realities.
This mentality has led from my dad suddenly being racist. He's always spoken highly of immigrants and their work ethic, but he has started saying truly awful things about the Chinese people, Latinx people and POC in the United States in general. When we call him out on it, his response is always, "Well, you know, the ones the Democrats hired. Not all of them. You know that."
It's always been normal to hear him talk about the Vatican or whatever, but he has never been a political person. As a former Witness, he wasn't allowed to be (and also no one around him ever was), but now he is-- about thirty-five years after getting out of that situation. He flipped from not being patriotic at all to suddenly wanting to hang American flags everywhere. He never had a sense of national pride, because he was always talking about how we stole natives' land and it doesn't belong to us.
He voted for the first time in his adult life this year because of this, I'm sure you can guess for who.
He's 50.
Honestly, I'm a bit overwhelmed right now knowing that other people who are deeply affected by a family member being in this state exist, so it's kind of hard to fully articulate my thoughts, but I wanted to say something into the void since my dad has been such a weight on mine and my sister's shoulders. His insane ramblings sent my sister into a psychotic episode where she refused to go to school thinking the government was out to get her (she's feeling better now!), and I feel even more disillusioned with reality every time I talk to him, because he always has to bring something about conspiracies up.
I am so sorry other people have to go through this experience too, but it is comforting to know that you are all out there and that this stuff really is not reality. I know it's hard for a "normal" person to stay out of the whole conspiracy thing, but when you're already a paranoid wreck, it's extra hard!
My heart absolutely goes out to each and everyone who has a loved one affected by this crap. It's really hard to deal with. I hope something comes along to help them realize that this is not reality, but until then... it definitely is hard.

My mom (a Qultist) is trying to report me to my job for being delusional
I cut all ties with my mom a few months ago due to Q. I told her that if she continues to be a part of that group, that I couldn't continue speaking to her because of my job. I work a rather low-level job for the government, but it does require a security clearance, and I will be slated to apply for a higher level clearance soon. I told her that I don't need the background investigation people finding out that she associates with a domestic terrorism group, and then asking why I haven't cut ties with her.
Upon cutting her off, I wrote a memo detailing my mother's activities within the QAnon group (just social media and local meetups), and my intention to never speak to her again, and sent it up to be placed in my security clearance file. Better to disclose ahead of time than to have them find out.
Well, yesterday, my stepmom (not a Qultist, she's cool, we like her) calls me in a panic. Her and my mother had been texting back and forth, and my mother has decided to call [Certain Government Investigative Agency That Oversees My Agency] and report me for being clinically delusional. Apparently my mother was also worried that I "tarnished [her] reputation" with the government, and she needed to "clear [her] name," which she also planned to do during this conversation with [Investigative Agency].
I notified my supervisors, who basically told me it wouldn't really go anywhere because the claim is baseless. But they'll eagerly await the call from the investigative agency and see what my mother decided to conjure up.
I'm just sitting here, laughing, like... You have a daughter who won't talk to you for a VERY OBVIOUS reason that she made VERY CLEAR to you before she stopped talking to you, and you decide "Hm, how can I get my daughter to talk to me again? ... Yes, make something up to try and get her fired! That'll work!"
And she's trying to call ME delusional. lol.
EDIT: Holy ravioli, this is getting a lot of traffic! Thank you all for your compassion. I feel the need to add a few things for clarity:
1) I am indeed active on RBN (well, moreso I lurk these days but I have posted there in the past).
2) My family knows not to tell my mom anything about me, don't worry!
3) Yep, I do plan on getting some kind of C&D once the complaint actually arrives at my supervisor's desk. I just need something tangible before I can go to court.

RE: belief in Q, l only pipe up when people ask.@IschKabibble and
@The Pendulum please don’t tear your families apart
I hope it's not real, and I've been hoodwinked.
Unfortunately, that's not likely.

Honest question - did you graduate from college? If so - what kind of degree (Bachelor's, Masters, etc)? If not, what is your highest level of education?
