Yes, I have spoken with them about it, and they said that I was not supportive enough. That is the problem with many organized religions. They manipulate people into thinking that they cannot survive without them, and then a gullible person becomes dependent.
I take care of the kids, just fine. She takes them, and I let them make up their minds if they want to go, but I'll have no part of it. I will go to an occasional event to support the kids. I am treated as an outcast by the congregation, which is no skin off my nose. Things will quickly come to light. I have a good, cautious idea on how to confront this issue.
Yes, you are correct...it is like an addiction, and there is no penetrating the will of an already made up mind. I can stand and point to the color blue, and they still insist it is green.
Thank you for your support, and I will continue to update as things unfold.
I doubt it is the church unless she is going to something weird like scientology. For instance in both the Jewish and Christian churches sex in marriage is in kins of mandatory unless BOTH agree on not having it and even at that it is something you check often to see if that is still the case.
But that does not stop other church goers to expressed their uniform opinion (which goes against the church's mandates)
It seems to me that you're doing all you can in very difficult circumstances. The only other suggestion I have would be for you to get some support from others in similar situations: there are groups for families and survivors of these sorts of religions which you could find on the internet.
Once again, good luck with it: as the survivor of a fundamentalist christian upbringing, my thoughts are with you
Is it normal for wife to not want sex?
