Episode 015 - Why Are JW Marriages So Bad? 

100 correct that's why I made a intentional decision and choice to marry someone that was not a Jehovah's Witness and after 9 years he has opened my eyes to a lot of things like attending therapy which I so desperately needed because I was existing in fight or flight mode from the abuse of being raised in a JW household the night terrors the phantom pain the PTSD anxiety depression Stockholm Syndrome among so many other things that I deal with because of being raised in this guilt mongering fear-mongering cult my husband is definitely my place of peace and my Saving Grace to wake me up to know that I don't need any man-made religion to be a morally healthy person and exist in my immediate reality as a healthy individual concentrating on my household I've been disfellowshipped for 5 years and I now have no trespassing signs on our property because I don't wish to have their company I don't wish to reconnect none of that because it's detrimental to my mental health and those are the boundaries that I have set! Wishing everyone that sees this a successful healing Journey

my mom was married to 4 different men and pioneering and none of them men was jw's and 1 was my dad

Right on, Riley!

Elders give the worst advice.
