My mom became a witness in 1974 ,I was raised with witness mom and anti witness dad.Was a rebelious teen though I did try to follow the jw. Got married and my mom and others witnessed to us my husband and I were baptised in 1980.He was abusive and I tried with the elders advice to be a good submissive wife.After 18 yrs I was done trying.Kicked out husband began to grow up finally.It feels sooo good to be an adult. Now I have no relationship with my mother or my eldest daughter Nor with my new grandaughter which is devastatiing to me,But Im dealing with it. I refuse to be manipuilated by them. kat
