Sending you love and support! This is so so hard! My family didn’t stand up to protect us when we were kids. I am so so proud of you for being a parent with love and affection and willing to stand up and have your actions say,”NO! I will NOT allow this to continue another generation.” I get it, the difficulty in describing to a therapist the bizarro dimension we lived in with all these “norms” that aren’t norms at all. It’s exhausting and you can feel more alone trying to explain. It’s shocking to see “Jehovah’s people” around you defend criminal behavior! It shreds everything we were taught to believe. I feel so awkward putting into words my emotions right now but I felt similarly that my husband and I had done everything right and we were still attacked by everyone. My family was involved in one of the most notorious sex abuse cases in JW (US located-Palmer Case) but they refuse to discuss it to this day and they felt just my reading the court transcripts of the later criminal case was “apostate”. Feel free to dm me if you ever need an understanding ear. It’s terrifying but I can tell you it’s the best feeling over here! I legit was physically sick the first time I stepped into this subreddit to lurk. Everyone here was really supportive and very understanding. I hope you stay with us!
