Love it but Mormon snakes are kind of dull witted. He is probably wondering what he did to get that response. Next time you might want to go beyond just hissing at him. A knee to the groin and then leave? (Not really - He is not worth the effort or thought even. Better to do what you did and move away. You are doing great)

"I wonder if she's hoping to reactivate me or if deep down she's looking for a girlfriend to share her doubts with. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I hope it's the latter." I suspect it may be a bit of both. She is testing the water. Give her some time. I would wager that her dam is bulging as is her shelf sagging. Be ready to be a support for her.

You want to feed the frenzy of your wife's sickness and by so doing pass it on down to your kids? I'd say you maybe have as big a problem as your wife, you are just able to cover it better by pointing at her. Granted she has a major problem but you need to remember that in pointing at her, you have three fingers pointing back at you. Stop this insanity by encouraging you son to be true t

Boy is 18 but that does not mean he is ready to take on the weight of mother's drama. Time to take son aside and let him know your feelings and of your support. In the end it will still be his decision but if he knows you are behind him, he will be better able to weather the oncoming storm and mother's disappointment/tears. There comes a time in everyone's life where one needs to learn t

He's thinking he has got you on chain and to be certain, he keeps yanking on it. Ultimate control is what the Morg is all about and your dad, it seems, has learned to degrade and be nasty to keep you under his thumb and under his control. Tuff situation for you for sure, but in reality, he only has as much power and control over you as you allow. Try not to take the bait or even bother argu

Interesting to watch them herd the sheep to pastures farther away, for what ever their reasons. Fun to see when a few sheep finally declare that they have found something more succulent and head down another path. The scattering of Israel all over. lol

I doubt therr is malice or ill intent on his part. It seems he genuinely feels you got shafted and wants you to know that he cares. Can you reciprocate without divulging things that could be used against you? Have a few exchanges. Keep things light. It may be he has always been a better friend than you were aware of. You could use a bit of support. Just try not to fall off the edge in gi

Don't waste your money or time on trying to fit in or get their approval. Sure they will take your gifts but don't expect them to like you and him too. How much rejection/shunning does it take before the obvious penetrates the conscious mind? These folks are NOT your husbands friends and DNA convergences really don't count. Rather than spend $ on a gift, take that money and go out to

What is, is. I did the best I could with the understanding that I had. The chips fall where they fall. Would life have been more fulfilling had I not had children? Who knows? Today's dose of reality being what it is, I have come to accept it as it is and try to not second guess or have too many regrets though I do admit to having some.

The Mormon mindset is so firmly implanted in the minds of some that it seems they are not capable of realizing the abuse even when it's happening. Even when it is being pointed out to them by others who might observe it's occurrence.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back that means no one else loved them. Set them free again. ;>) Odds are, down the road, your ex will want you back. Hope your present experience with her was enough to keep you from falling (again).

It sucks but it seems evident that she was never really all that into (invested in) you. She liked you enough to marry you (She wanted a dad for her kids?) but didn't love you. You were just her next thing and you seemed like a good idea at the time. Now the kids are older, she has decided she can do better than you. She probably will bounce in and out of other relationships too. Her prob

I remember hearing about this when the story broke years ago and then it seemed it all got swept under the rug and I never heard what the results were. Nice to have been able to review it from A - Z.

That she would even bring up, "there are gay mormons, you know" sounds suspicious to me. Red flag there. Be careful with her. Her comment seems off balance to me. Is she still operating under the delusion that the Morg is good? Sad and sick if she is. Keep looking for another therapist is my suggestion.
