JustHuman...my friend...I see very clearly that "you" are disappearing. You have lost your sense of self and in this state of mind are no good to your children or yourself. I was a JW the first 10 years of my marriage to a JW and when I disassociated in 97 because I didnt believe ANY of it any more...he stayed in, and the games began. But I had three small children and I was NOT going to allow this cult to turn them into little haters of all things and people non JW!! Was NOT GOING TO ALLOW IT. And we struggled against each other, him dragging them to meetings and me teaching them basically the opposite of what they were hearing when they were at home. But he was NOT going to strip me of my right to believe what I WANTED to believe and he was NOT going to interfere with my right to teach MY KIDS what I believed! Your wife is plowing over you mdear and you are ALLOWING her to. If someone told me to leave my own house because they were inviting someone over there that found my company offensive...my reply would be f-k you and the horse you rode in on this is MY HOUSE and NO ONE disrespects me in MY HOUSE!! Oh HELL NO!!
The more you allow her to do this the more depressed you will become, the less good you will be to your children on any level dad. I dont know how old your kids are or if they are baptized or how deeply entrenched they are in JW mythology...but if you are just sitting there letting her tell you what you can and cannot do and can and cannot say to your own kids then they are probably just assuming mom must be RIGHT since dad is caving. Dad is living up to all the JW urban legends about what happens to people when they "leave Jehovah" then they go "Look! Look how sad and pathetic your father is because Jehovahs love is removed from him! Look kids! See what happens when you leave Jehovahs loving organization?" DONT BE THEIR CASE STUDY!!
Get PISSED OFF!! Take CONTROL OF YOUR HOUSE! When she tells you to do or not do something remind her that neither SHE nor her ELDERS have any control over what you DO with YOUR LIFE and if she has a problem with your parenting then she can leave. But those are YOUR kids and she doesnt have the right to keep you from them or disallow you to tell them ANYTHING. Got it??? I know you do.
The best revenge baby is to live a GOOD LIFE! Invite your friends over. Take the high moral ground and invite her to JOIN YOU while you entertain. If she refuses to be around "worldly people" she is the one who will look bad not you. Make sure your kids are at the party and do NOT allow her to take them out of the home. Unless of course we are talking about young adults here who go where they want to.
Medication may help you cope in the meantime...find a counselor and not a girlfriend to confide in. Dont start a new life with someone outside the marriage until you have concluded this one or that will make matters worse.
I know you can do this...we have ALL had to deal with this cult and to cow tow to them or back down or allow them to beat us down...only fuels their self righteous fires.
hugs and support, LD
