ihadnoidea: Just remember that this is what happens when someone tries to escape a cult. But Jesus told us to expect it. Matthew 10:34 says: "Do not suppose that I have comet o bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." And vs 37 says, "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;"
Such an easy scripture to read and say to others. Far more difficult to follow it.
No trying to change the subject Bro, but I had a few beers for you on Friday night FYI.
Again, hang in there and listen to the great advice a lot of people are saying.
I'm trying man, I'm trying. Wish I could've helped you with some of those beers friday.
There's some pretty good advice on this thread. I don't really have anything to add.... just letting you know I'm concerned and hope things work out.
Strength to you, Dan.
(((((((Dan))))))) <-- That was a bro hug, just to be clear.
BrotherDan,
Take it from me, you would do well to see what your rights are and block your wife from taking your child out of the state. She has no right to do this to you. I don't care what those idiot Jehovah's Witnesses think, she is not acting at all in a Christian way. Frankly, if I could, I'd report her for you for you do not deserve this regardless of what twisted reasoning she is using to make your life a living h***.
At any rate, do it for your child. I have a 10 year old son who I don't get to see very often because I wanted to play nice with his mom. I did not fight hard enough to ensure that I had joint custody of my son and I let his mom push me around all because I did not want to make things look bad in front of him.
Don't let this happen with your son. Believe me, if my wife tried this stunt with our daughters I would fight for my rights.
I just don't want this to turn ugly. I'm seriously just about to give up.
Dan, it IS UGLY already. Your indoctrinated wife is trying to steal your kid from you and you are about to give up. I don't mean to be negative but you need to be afraid. It's a serious trip to Denver; it isn't just around the corner. Your son needs you in his life. He needs you as his dad and as the only one in the family sane enough to authorize a blood transfusion if it ever, heaven forbid, becomes necessary.
Sorry it had to come so far so fast, Dan. I know you hoped to fade quietly and slowly bring your family along.
Remember this: your wife's authentic personality may be the most wonderful person on planet earth but the indoctrinated cult personality is a freaking lunatic. It isn't her, it's what the Borg has created out of her raw materials. Although you have pity for your genuine wife you're going to have to fight the cult-wife for the sake of your son.
You're not alone, Bro!
Dan
I'm not trying to scare you, you've talked about how great of a mommy your wife is, but, what would she do if one of the kids needed a blood transfussion?
use tact .... it worked for me !!
T .... trust
A....attention
C .... calmness
T .... time
Blood? She'd let the kids die...I THINK. See I'm not too sure how dedicated she is to the rules. Especially if it had to do with the kids. However, blood is the one thing that they drill into your head since you are a kid...so I'm not sure how she'd react.
I'm trying to contact her so we can talk this out, but she's stopped answering her phone and responding to emails. I'm just in limbo. I hope she hasn't already booked a plane and left or something. Yesterday I told her that I loved her more than she'll ever know and she just shrugged. I asked her if she loves me...and she shrugged again and walked away.
I'm just hurt. I don't understand any of this. She's put up with so much of my crap through the years and I thought we could get through anything. Apparently not.
