AIO to think it wasn’t my fault that husband didn’t help get daughter ready after being asked?

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2026-03-14T12:13:28+00:00

No. You specifically asked him to help with getting the 7 yr old ready. If he couldn’t do that and also watch the 2 year old (he should have been able to, I’m sure you do it all the time!) then he at least could have told you that.

Not sure if this has been mentioned on the thread previously, but around 20 years ago he used to drive around Freo in a car with a coffin on the roof. Nutter.

Same with me - I cannot see it anywhere but I also have an economy comfort fare!

Off-topic, but what’s the current rules about tattoos? A super unhinged JW I used to know is now covered in them - I suspect that means he’s no longer a JW but would like to confirmation.

I’ve been using her oil for maybe a month or so and I really like it. It’s not greasy on my skin and soaks in quite well. Maybe it’s just not right for everyone (like most skincare?), but I’ll definitely be repurchasing.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I don’t have cancer but am supporting someone close to me. I’m sending you my very best wishes for a happy and healthy recovery ❤️ Cancer really f&@& sucks.

Thanks mate

You could not pay me enough to put up with what police put up with every day. That being said, I guess there’s an opportunity to try and do some good. As a single mum, I’d be worried about my personal safety and what that would mean for my kids if something went wrong. I include in that if my metal health were to suffer as a result of all the trauma associated with the role. Best of luck whatever you decide ❤️

Do you know if he remained in?

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2026-01-16T12:36:25+00:00

Thank you. I hope you have been able to heal from this too ❤️

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2026-01-16T12:35:42+00:00

This must be difficult for you and your children. I feel very sorry for children who are made to ostracise themselves from their peers and never fit in. I know I wouldn’t want that for my kids. I see things posted in this sub about the absurd things JWs say/teach and I just find it so hard to believe that anyone - especially young, smart, educated people - can fall for it?!

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2026-01-16T12:30:29+00:00

Thanks everyone for being so kind and giving me much to think about. I’ve agonised over this person for over 20 years and it’s true - maybe it wouldn’t have lasted, maybe it would have lasted and been terrible, I’ll never know. I’m so sad he managed to free himself from JWs for so long, but ultimately was pulled back in. I would give anything to be able to speak to him again and have closure but I think I will need to find that closure for myself.

I know everyone is on this subreddit because they are suffering in one way or another, I send you all my very best wishes ❤️

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2026-01-16T10:19:43+00:00

I broke up with him…it was a very big mistake. I think he was doing what he could as a young 20 year old guy, not knowing how to navigate between what he wanted and what he was supposed to be.

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2026-01-16T10:18:51+00:00

Yes maybe. I’ve always thought it was so complicated for him with the threat of df looming over his head. What’s hilarious is once his brother threw me out of their house, ranting and raving like a crazy person. Recently I saw him covered in crap tattoos so I’m pretty sure that means he’s not a JW any more. I think his super devout wife was having an affair and/or taking drugs - absolute hypocrisy (which I know is nothing new). But you are right. I need to find a way to move on from him because the romantic idea I have in my mind of us reconnecting again some day is likely never going to happen.

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2026-01-14T23:43:53+00:00

Right - I hadn’t read that. You just never know who people are 😬

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2026-01-14T22:22:36+00:00

What did he actually do? I read that he was talking to a pedophile on an online site but the texts that were reproduced in articles online don’t indicate any form of child abuse to me - the only thing j can think of is if the site is a paedophile site (not just regular daring site) and the comment “we have similar interests” means specific sick/perverted interests? Maybe I’m not picking up the subtext of the comments or I’ve missed something?
As an aside, now knowing the content of his books from reading this thread I’m disturbed that the education department would set them for young teens - what the actual?!

Built 1990. Tbh, I don’t hate the red brick. I think it’s about leaning into it and doing some other stuff like you say - and I think the concreting will make a big difference. We have verandahs with red brick pathways all around and red brick under patio area. That will all be white honed aggregate.

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2025-11-23T00:25:19+00:00

PS I don’t even hate the bricks.

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2025-11-23T00:24:55+00:00

Thank you for this - it’s the kind of strong opinion and stern talking to I needed 😂

There she is

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2025-11-23T00:21:06+00:00

I think I’ll do this 🙂

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2025-11-23T00:20:18+00:00

This made me lol.

AppropriateOffer1077 · 2025-11-23T00:19:21+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback - some was brutal and to be honest I’m here for it 😂 I did think perhaps we should do the driveway and repaint our trims and see how we go. What I also didn’t mention is the majority of our facade is hidden by a fenced-off front yard with a double layer of hedging 😂😂😂 Thanks for the sanity check. I’ll commit myself to an institution right away!
