I am raising my child as a jw. My husband is a jw, and before we married I studied and thought real hard to myself about how I wanted my kids to be raised. I decided to give them something I never had. My husband is a good man because of our religion and his upbringing. He hasn’t seen him in over a year due to supervised visitation that he refuses to pay for. The money does not go to me its so the child protective services can supervise him because of the threats and danger he has put us in. He has threatened me and my husband and said terrible things about my other kids for over a year. Only actually asking about his son twice AFTER I complained about his threats. He doesn’t even contact me for the visits. He only has contacted me twice and both times My kid has been stood up. I have had 8 dismissed cps cases all false reports and ruled out. He has claimed I burn them with cigarettes, and I leave them in cars, I’m not mentally stable, I’m on crack, you name it. I’ve went through more mental evaluations, drug tests, classes, and caseworkers than I can look past. He has made heinous allegations about my husband raping him and numerous times our lives has been put on hold , work missed, and I’ve endured plenty of sleepless nights because of his threats and his known ability to carry them out. He stabbed my ex bf and he choked me out numerous times while pregnant. I never return evil with evil 😔 I want this to stop...I don’t want my child to feel like he has to wait until his bday for us to adore him or celebrate him growing etc. At this age they learn something new every single day and we celebrate every time. Has anyone else had similar issues? We take them out almost every week. And I wasn’t always a jw I STILL rather it this way. Every week is a “birthday party” just Saturday we went to the rice festival and we all had a blast. I don’t need a certain day to come up for me to praise my kid. I do that everyday😕 it’s been a long time coming im finally the mother I always knew I could be. My son is 4 today...
