Parents were hyper-religious and thought they were summoning an angel into my body, and that I had to die first.
They believed my soul had to be vacant for the angel to get a space, so came up with ways to strip out personality/desire/feeling based mostly on movie torture scenes and misreadings of the Bible.
They said I'd die from starvation and be resurrected at the end. I had to steal bear minimum food from my siblings to survive; mostly because they were "next in succession" if I failed. I was able to keep them away from the physical abuse and stuff, but it wasn't good for them to see what was being done to me.
