Those of you who have been reading any of my posts know my situation with my jw wife. To update you a little on what's been going on, here it is. My 22 year old son who still lives at hom has stopped studying with the jw's and has not been to meetings for a few weeks. The jw he was studying with came to the house a couple of Sundays ago asking if he could speak to him. He was polite and I replied that he was at a friends arranging what college courses to take in the next quarter. Turns out my son has met someone, not a jw. He was introduced to a very nice girl by one of his cousing, my cousins daughter. He has also found some part time work through the help on my sister. Nothing great but it's a job with a small but much needed steady pay check. My wife seems to not mettle too much as to why he's not attending meetings with her, but then again, I'm out of the house quite a bit and so I may be unaware of any conversations they may have had.
He would never call me when we were separated or out of the house for anything, ever... He would always call my wife for just about anything when one of us are out of the house, but he's been calling me for little things here and there. This may seem like nothing but it is. He would never call me for anything unless it had to do with money he needed. He seems different. I've also been rocking the boat with my wife a little lately calling her out on her double life. Nothing major just a few little things here and there. I've gotten to the point where I need to do something different, anything as long as it's different from being the passive accomadating no rocking the boat kind of guy I've been.
As I've mentioned on another post, my wife's jw mom and dad rent a house from a jw and so does my sil and her husband, from the same jw. Seems hard times has fallen on this particular jw and he needs to sell the house my sil and bil are renting. They have to move into another jw's trailer that is parked on their own property that they normally use for vacations. They're moving by the end of the month and my inlaws want my wife to go visit them, in the next state, to just be there to help them get settled in. Now, we are broke and I don't have the money to pay for the gas just so she can drive there. In fact, I've had to borrow from family off and on over the last year. All of the sudden she decides that she will take up the offer her cousin gave her to work in a food truck to make "extra" money so she can take the trip. I looked at her and said, "you really think that this is extra money don't you? How is it that I'm working like a dog and still fall short, but the money I earn is our money and this is going to be your money to take a trip we can't afford?"
I'm really pissed, not hurt but pissed because she knows how hard I work but never does anything herself to look for work in any way. Now I find out that she's had this offer to work with her cousin that she didn't tell me about but now wants to tak advantage of it to take this trip for her?. I'm at the end of my rope with everything jw. My daugher is getting more confused too. She wants to go trick or treating but is asking questions as to why the people at the meeting says it's bad and the other kids there can't go. I've been patient long enough and I'm ready to not just take a stronger stand but to do everything I can to keep my kids out of that Hall...
