I was not raised in the jw org, so the feeling did go away. I imagine that could be more of a challenge if you were raised in from conception or a very young age.

my child was again telling me to divorce him last night. i think there is more to it all now than she priginally let on, and i told her we will not just leave we need to talk to him if she is that angry. she didnt want to, i told her i would. so i talked to my husband. i told him she is angry and wants me to divorce him. he is heartbroken. but hopefully this can start some deep thought and repair.
Think about all of the stupid things we'd do if we listened to our kids about adult things. They'd have us taking them on vacation 20 times a year and buying them everything they want and beating up the bully's dad and letting them change schools everytime a teacher made them tow the line. If you are looking for a way out of your marriage, don't let your kids be your excuse. It sounds to me like you want people to give you a green light, using your children as the reason. Divorce will shatter your kids' lives, and yours in ways you can't understand or imagine until you've been there. I'm not saying that divorce is uncalled for sometimes. I am saying it's not the door to an easier, happier life. One day your children will be asking you how you ever listened to them. They will be telling you that you are the adult and you shouldn't have let kids pressure you into making such a profound, life changing decision.

8 days?? That was not a well balanced meal, the bangers and rice. Bathing caps. Phew, glad the 8 days were history by the time I started studying. 4 days was hard enough. We did have some fun, Tim, but mostly the conventions were too hot and quite exhausting.

Eh, we are all dead. We just think we are alive. My family got into a car accident when I was six and everyone of us but my brother David got knocked out. I probably died then. It would explain my bizarre, but fun filled life.

recently i asked that question on another thread and didn't really get ananswer.
cofty made an excellent point that we often hear what it isn't, but that really isn't useful.. so, what is it?

Viv, you may be too young to remember what a broken record sounds like, however, that's what you and this thread sound like. People answer you and you say:

Ohh, you know it's tempting. It's so much more relaxing and fun than getting all snippy.

Sounds like a splendid idea for you, Miss Vivi. Relax, put your feet up. Have a cigar. Depending on where you live, the night might still be young.

I don't know how old your child is, but please, don't do something as harsh as divorcing your child's father on the advice of a child. I remember my kids were pushy about me divorcing my husband, too. Now that they are grown. My son who is the man's biological son, he asks me, "Mom, you were the adult, why did you ever listen to a couple of teenagers?"
JWs are going to be pushy about their beliefs because they sincerely believe you and your child's eternal life are in danger. Does that really count as abuse? Divorce will profoundly affect you and your child in ways you cannot predict now. Unless there is severe abuse of the sexual or violent kind, can't you figure out a way to live with your spouse in a way that will work for you and your mutual child?
