I wish you and your daughter the best too, awful traumas to deal with, and added to by having to pursue justice without backing from the org, who should be helping not hindering you.

Recently I've enjoyed some thriller/crime fiction. Child 44 and Gone Girl have been great.

My ex was a misogynist, I'm not just saying the word, he was, full blown. I didn't know until near the end. The psychological damage was worse than the physical, and you're right he wanted me dead. He swore if I ever left him I'd lose my kids. He was right I have. I lost them to the damage our marriage caused and to the WTBS. I was Dfd for a minor sin about a year later that I told the elders about and repented. They wouldn't believe I was sorry.
That destroyed me completely for a while but the bonus was that I lost all trust in the WTBS and vowed never to return. Following a small cancer and treatment I decided to start living again. I met and married a wonderful worldly man. He is a gift from God. He's helped me to heal and supported and encouraged me through a degree and now we're both on a post grad course. I am surrounded by love through friends and his family. I am very happy. I have learned to live with my mistakes and regrets. I have to, or else the ex would have got his wish entirely.
We can overcome even the most horrific harm done to us if we really want to as you know. Some of us are living proof.

I can hear your past pain here Lois, so I looked back and just read your story. It is a very sad read. I'm sorry that it all happened to you, and very glad that you are healing now and free from your abusive marriage. He sounds like the misogynist ex I shared nearly 30 years with. You are a brave lady. Stay strong.

You must be obedient to your husband and as the Rules stand right now, if he beats you, it is your fault, you ticked him off. It is expected that a good JW wife will take this abuse and shut up about it. A bad wife will call the Police or call the Elder body and complain. This is considered a humiliation for the man. The Elders will side with your husband against you.
This is spot on Lois. I lived through it. His final attack on me was in a jeep he owned and after punching me in the face he pushed me out of the moving vehicle into the road in temper. As it happened there were people both in the window of a house and some outside it who saw the whole thing and called the police. Even with these 5 witnesses, he convinced the elders that I was making it up and faking my bruised face. I separated and refused the elders advice to return. He faded out of TT and blamed me. It took around 7 months for the CPS to get him to court, I was called to be a witness with the other 5. I was disciplined for agreeing to go ahead with it, the elders said that because the 5 witnessess were worldly, their evidence didn't stand up in the eyes of the WTBS. Finally, a couple of days before the trial he pleaded guilty. I took the documents to the elders to prove it.
They didn't acknowledge or apologise and he continued to fade freely. Loz x -

Welcome! It's great that you made it here. The way the KH makes you 'ill' resonates with me, for a long time I suffered similarly. Lovely to hear about your family too.
