ndmom73 - Thanks for sharing. The boys have had counselling but being Brits it's no really a thing we do I guess. I just soldier on.
Thanks again for sharing your story. It helps me to make sense of my own.

If you could just get into that counselor as a client and give her/him the cult side of the story so that they might be more aware of what the kids are going through.
I would throw in some Steven Hassan links etc to bring the counselor up to date with the WTBTS and how it is a high control group.
Possibly this might help with the kids as they would see some info coming from a different source.

Hey, punk. I attended a divorce recovery group for years and one of the big revelations for me is how hard men fall. Perhaps because girls do their sharing and weeping thing, and it is a rare man who has a similar social network. I also notice that men often underestimate how big a role being a husband and father is, and how much they will miss it when it is gone. You are still a dad. You can do a lot to add to your boy's life.

Just a suggestion. Instead of focasing on what is not there, do something special on a weekly basis with your boys. It will help them and it will help you to focas on what you do have.
wish you the best
Cofty - I fear I may never get to see the WBT$ crash like a demolished building....but it'd help. Where would Mrs Punk go then, ay?
ndmom - I'm having more good days than I did. Now I need cash. Perhaps the GB will give me some of their surplus.
notjustyet - Hassan make xlnt points
jgnat - It's a rootin' tootin' certainty
roberta804 - I enjoyed watching Dr Who with the boys and sometimes the Simpsons. In view of their age now they have their own lives to a degree.
I look forward to the day when something unfortunate happens to the Governing Body.
hope things are improving day by day, punkie......hang in there....and be close to those kids of yours....they need you and solidarity.

Punk... sorry you're going through this. Soldiering on is fine, but so are tantrums from time to time.
Donkey hug, bro!
(I still don't know what a donkey hug is, exactly.)
But Punk...don't mind if I disagree a bit. It is not a failure to free onself from a destructive cult, even if you ex-wife is still in.
I think a lot of us wish to see the fall of the WTS, but, we have to realize that there are more important things in our own lives.
Give your self some more time to get used to your "new life".......but, It's really hard when one is short of cash. I hope this problem will solve for you. These family splits are really tragic. :-(
I was to be engaged when I decided to leave......we didn't engage, I think it was hurtful for both of us, but i think it was the best in the long run.
Punk you are in my prayers bro!
