  I agree with Heliaphora. Let the Department of Adult Protective Services do an investigation first. They will be able to tell you if you need an attorney, or one may be appointed for your mother.

  It was a car. It wasn't yours, yet you thought threatening violence was the appropriate answer. You were the agressor and bully in that situation. In that situation, if you had said that to me, my answer would have been "Feel free to try". I don't respond well to bullies or threats.

  Yes, it was a car...a car that didn't belong to the jerk who was leaning on it despite the owner asking him not to do so. Chances are good that a threat of violence is the only thing that would get through to a punk like that. Unlike you, however, he realized that it wasn't worth getting his ass whipped.

  "we were just talking...shes not free to remarry...we werent flirting or doing anything wrong"

  thats what my soon to be exhusband just said to me.

  i finally after 25 years of dealing with him and the jws and a litany of other shit, told him two weeks ago i want out.

  he wrote me a letter this week and made a list of allllll the things he hates: about my beliefs, the fact that i left jehovah, broke my vows to god, my hobbies, celebrations, what i watch on tv, my parenting, keeping the kids out of the jws, not having any friends....and then said well i dont hate "you".

  "Youre the one who is DIVORCING ME dont forget!"

  Ha, my answer would've been, "You're the one who is supposed to be the jw, asshole!"

  With that aside, I agree with the others about not wasting your energy on feeling hurt about his relationship with Sister Not Free to Remarry. When the time comes, you can decide whether or not to give him his freedom to remarry, or you could use it as a bargaining chip during divorce proceedings. Either way, they're both going to have to wade through a world of shit to be together, because she still has to find her proof.
