Lordy Wolf, quite a letter!!!

i was feeling sad tonight until i drank a bit of the stoli....seriously, though.....i am feeling a bit down because of the whole business with my brother.
my mother is sickly, and if she were to pass away, then her life would count up to only sadness.
her husband was a bastard abuser, her parents are dead, her friends all left her when she defended her children...it makes me sad.. ashi
Joel and Pat, thank you for the words...I don't drink too much, but about every other day, and only to drunkedness once every two weeks.
I just want my mother to be happy. I mean, she defended me physically....to me she is a savior.
Joel, to stem the pain I normally do what you say...but sometimes I need a stiff drink to relax the muscles-the pressure gets too much sometimes.
I love my mother, I wish I could find her a husband who would love her and defend her for the rest of her years. She wants to leave my father, but because of her finances, can't. I want to someday help her with that. I don't want her eulogy to be all tears.

a couple of weeks ago, we get a phone call from my husband's aunt.
she tells him that his jw grandma (g-ma) wanted him to call her, and she promised him that she would not shun him.
this is how the phone call went.. grandma (g-ma)- "hello, who is this?
They are f-ing assholes...there's nothing you can do but endure..

the legal challenge raised to the door to door work could be.
huge in its effects.
even if the supreme court strikes down.
Joel may have something there. Door to door may end, but who cares. They can still use a phone to solicit, can't they? "Informally"? There's a million more ways than door to door that they use. We can't stop all of them. Shutting down the Watchtower is a delusion.
Helping people who leave to stay happy is really all we can do.

only if you're lucky.. here's hoping this is my lucky night.
Kev,
Life does suck, then it gets better, then it sucks again. The cycle goes on, and we all just have to bear the bad to return to the good. This is the way of everything. Since Jon loved you, you must be able to be loved. This can be by anyone-perhaps another love, of any kind,(familial, friendly, brotherly, husbandly). It will return you to the good. But, it does come slow, and it burns until you return to it.
Kev, it's obvious why you are hurting, but don't give up on the world that still cares for you. Why, I'm a complete stranger to you, but if I lived on the same continent, you can be sure we'd be talking instead of typing right now, and over a warm cup of tea.
I have no wise words to give you; I'm much too young to advise-yet I know that you'll feel happiness, love, and joy again. The moment always captures the future, but only in that moment-think of Jon, share a cup of tea with this friend cross-Atlantic, and sleep long and deep. Dream what you will, and wake up calm and at peace.

one more topic.. my wife just called up to tell me that she was over my parents before a doctor's visit, chatting with my mother, when my crazed jw father threw my small 14 year old brother down the stairs and punched him for not wanting to study.. i've been beat, thrown down stairs, had potted plants thrown at me, chased around the house, and such, for not wanting to do the family study.. this is what the "truth" does to people, all you loyal jw's....take note...... (i'm so angry i'm shaking).
ashi.
p.s-my father said he was leaving my mother--oh god, pretty please, you motherf**ker.
Teej,
I was just getting tired of critisism....this isn't exactly easy, you know.
I know people care, but I felt like a piece of shit every time someone said I would be a criminal if I didn't report, you know what I mean?

Seigs,
I threatened to kill him, with knife in hand, many years ago. My mother told him she'd kill him if he hurt me. All of his friends have abandoned him. He's not afraid of them. He does have a healthy fear of me though. He said 'no' to my brother coming over tonight, and I just shot him a look. Then he said 'ok'.
The cops may instill the fear of God into him, though. The JW's certainly haven't. Gutless coward, bastard abuser.

Perhaps my detractors weren't listening. MY BROTHER IS GOING TO THE COPS THE NEXT TIME HE DOES IT.
How much more cooperation do I need? He has no "oh, but I was bad" attitude. You perceive our inaction as cowardice or brainwashing. It is nothing of the sort.
No one should deride my brother for his caution. Frankly, I am surprised at his courage and patience. He knows that things won't change overnight, and that he has to play his cards right to keep himself safe, not just for the night he is in the police station safe and sound, but for all of the nights of his life.
I don't know how many of you have been through this. I have. I know the abuser in question. I know where his violent limit is. I also know when he may stike again. I have a plan in the works to keep my family safe. I also have a plan to put to justice those who harm my family. I think I've been too distant on this thread.
I AM TAKING CARE OF THE SITUATION. MY BROTHER'S LIFE IS NOT HANGING IN THE BALANCE.
May I remind all those who disagree that caution is necessary....NECESSARY. If you see a man robbing a bank, and you chase him yelling, "You stop you evil bank robber you," while he has a gun in his hand, how prudent is this?
I think that all those who want revenge for me and my brother can rest easy. It will come, but you must all be patient; just as patient as we are. I am the person who had it for 20 years. My brother's trials are just beginning, but the abuse may be near the end, BECAUSE I WILL NOT LET MY FATHER HARM A HAIR ON HIS HEAD.
Do you guys understand?
