Wow, it seems that a few of us are going through the same thing. It is somehow comforting to know that.
I have an appointment with my solicitor today at 10:30 UK time to deal with just this issue.
I was first to leave, at first she carried on without me and took the kids. Then she had an affair and decided to leave the cult and is now basically an atheist and an extremely angry one at that. She says she hates me, the thought of sleeping next to me makes her skin crawl etc, etc.
She is now extremely angry, aggressive and abusive both physically and verbally. I had to go on anti depressants earlier this year and am also on a programme of CBT as my self confidence and particularly my self belief are shot to hell.
I am as nervous as hell about dismantling the marriage after 20 years and it terrifies me, making me feel physically sick, waking in the night and so on.
Anyone out there who is going through the same, I feel for you because I've lived through hell for ten long years.
She will not leave because she is afraid of her Witness parents but I have been told by several different doctors not to suffer the abuse any longer.
I love my children and they don't want this but it has made me ill both mentally and physically so I need to extricate myself or there won't be anything left of me to give them.
This isnt my thread, I just stumbled across it and I guess I ought to post my own when I have more time and if you would like to hear how I get on.
Good look to everyone who suffers the same 👍✋
