I finished not quite quivering.
I'm a little creeped out right now. Her beliefs are so similar to how I was raised, I shudder thinking I could have been just like her!
thank God I wasn't a stupid doormat!
Also, at the top it says it's a 35 part series, but it stopped at 27. Does anyone have a link to the other 8 sections?
Re: I finished not quite quivering.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
I foot tapped because I got to 28? one past what was listed...(on the bottom of 27, you can click 'next' and get to 28) but that's it.
And I"m with you on the 'wow, my family groomed me for this' BS.
okay zsa, I'll try.
Got married at 16 because she was "forced too" because God didn't make the kid not ask her out and because her mom didn't refuse to sign the consent form.
back story: bad home life. Mom married creeps. Almost sexually assaulted, but not quite. Sister is, though, so the fact she's a meth addict and neglects her children is not her fault.
Husband was abusive, but never actually abused her. Just threatened too. He cheated. She cheated. She got pregnant. Not his. He blew pot in the baby's face. She found God. Got divorced. not her fault.
Met Husband 2. he's blind. Gets pregnant. Has Csection. Get's pregnant again. Has Csection. Husband gets vasectomy. Jesus doesn't like vasectomies, they reverse it.
Switches churches
not her fault.
Gets pregnant. Has horrible half home birth in which death almost occurs. Has fat baby. not her fault.
Goes to church, a lot. Switches churches a lot while writing a theological newspaper. Blind husband is annoying and verbally abusive to first child, which is not his.
switches churches.
Get's pregnant. Has horrible home birth in which midwife pulls open cervix with fingers. It's a boy!
Goes to home churches. Wears dresses.
Gets pregnant. Y2K. It's a girl!
Home remodel. Husband is verbally abusive. Old child starts acting out. Home life hard, but it's not her fault.
Nominated Nebraska family of the year.
Old child gets CNA certified and gets drivers license. Continues to be unhappy and acts out.
Get's pregnant. God tells her this pregnancy ends badly and will be her last child. It's a boy! Csection.
and that's where it ended.
And writing this all down gave her absolutely no perspective into her own life?
Seriously?
That's the point of writing down everything. You lay all the cards on the table and HAVE TO look at them. It's not always a pretty picture, and at her age, it's her fault.
