i did finally get a reply from my dad (after a week and a half) and i almost wish i hadn't.
Hello I am new to the forum! I am not an active JW anymore due to the hypocracry of the religion. To make a long story a little shorter I was raised as a JW and ended up marrying out of the truth right after high school. I ended up pregnant and disfellowshipped. Well I ended up staying with my ex-husband for four gruesome years and had two boys with him. That was about 6 years ago. I had remarried about 6 mos after the divorce to a very new to the truth brother. We did really well and he was a great step father to my two children that my ex never cared for or supported me with. Up until about a year ago. I always allowed the children to visit my ex's mother all the time even though she stabbed me in the back all the time. Now she is a JW, but shouldn't be! She has been allowed to keep going to meetings and associating with everyone while harrassing me and making false accusations against me and my husband and telling the elders that my husband and I abuse and neglect our SON, she only cares about the first son, not the second! Well she called the police and child protection agencys numerous times throughout the year on us and all the times the authorities would dismiss the findings because there was no findings of any abuse or neglect in our home! Because of this I stopped letting her see the two kids because she was trying to seperate our family that we were getting back on track due to some personal and financial problems. Well just recently she took me to court to get visitation rights to see the boys. The elders didn't seem to care that she was doing this to us, probably because we don't go to meetings anymore, but I did not show up at the court, so she ended up getting papers on going about and getting custody of my two sons. For a year now, I have suffered from her games and the congregation won't do anything about it. My parents go to the same congregation up there and the elders made my dad step down because they think that he is part of this and that the ex mother in law should be able to see her grandkids. Yesterday~March 27th, I ended up giving up my parental rights due to depression and thoughts of suicide and not being able to fight her anymore. I just can't believe this can go on in a religion that condones going to court. Why can't she be disfellowshipped? She even has people in the congregation on her side and helping her do this. she's lying to them about us as parents. I am a great parent, my husband and I had a son together and we have never abused or neglected any of our sons, she is so full of shit, her nose is brown!!! :) Can someone help me try to cope with this horrible situation since I do not have really any friends due to leaving this cult!!
