Hi sweetmochasista, I am sorry to hear about your situation, although it seems to happen often. I hope and pray that you will make new friends, get an education, get a job, help your son to develop normally and with critical thinking, and be free of the WTBTS. You deserve a lot of credit for freeing your mind from the WTBTS indoctrination. GOOD-LUCK and hugs!!
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

I am born in too.....married at 21!!
College will be a blast and you can wile away hours in campus library counting time if you tuck a tract in your purse or backpack!
Faingd Rvs and studies are easy too!
Remember as a MS your husband got beat over the head with the 'college' outline plus his CO's comments during Kingdom School.....
Keep your time up and quiet about attendance so as not to rock his boat and him demand you quit......
Very Proud of You!!!!
Hi Sweet, welcome to the forum. Youll get lots of help and support here, and make some good friends along the way. I wish you all the best for your new life for you and your son...its tough but so worth it.
Hi from the UK!

I second that!
You do deserve credit . . . no question. The power of WT indoctrination enslaved all of us here at some point . . . breaking free mentally is no mean feat.
I do have a concern about your current JW husband . . . you say he is controlling, and an MS. With this description, he probably has ambitions also. Your departure will probably bring his WT concieved world crashing down. I'm not sure of the wisdom of this occurring "at close quarters" SweetMocha. It may be a safer option to handle the fallout at a safe distance . . . how's your relationship with your Dad?
You probably get my drift here . . . and maybe I'm off the mark, as you know your situation best . . . just keep you and child SAFE . . . that's all I'm saying
Welcome! Glad to hear from you! I'm a born-in, baptized at 12, married at 19, and I just registered for summer online classes! I do admire you for sticking it out as long as you have. Once I made my mind up to leave, I was gone. I don't have the patience. I can't even stand two-week notices, ha ha! However, I also don't have any kiddos. That would have been a whole different ball game.
Anyway, good luck!
Congrats on doing the right thing. I trust you will consider the claims of the true Christ (not an authoritarian cult) on your life. Jesus is Jehovah and He can set you free giving you abundant and eternal life that the Society never could. He will take care of you, but there may be cost and consequences to your previous choices and deception. Leaving false religion and not embracing the true God will not leave you further ahead in light of eternity (but still temporal benefit to be free of cult).
Hiya, sweetmocha a big WELCOME, Great advice from the rest of the crew, I only wish you were here in UK, our benefits system,would be an enormous help to you, Im hopeful where you live has some sort of help for women your in predicement, perhaps you can investigate this as part of your exit strategy ? I went through a similar experience(the breakup of a marriage that had run its course, and leaving the Corp) Im sure you will cope, it never ceases to amaze me the way most women find the strength and will, when the heve children.
I think you will find it a great relief to get out of two strangleholds at once.
Welcome to the forum. I see you are getting some good advice already Stick around and ask anything
Cheers
Chris
