I have lurked on this sight for several years and have not felt comfortable posting much until now. Now...now I need to vent and feel support from some who may understand.
I will spare the details of my upbringing for now but will say that I grew up in the church, did the mission, married in the temple, everything I was supposed to do.
I quit attending and participating about 9 years ago and separated from my wife about that same time.
She is the one I need to vent about.
She is one who follows the promptings of "the spirit" in EVERYTHING she does. She prays to know if she should shower in the morning or wait til the evening. She waits for "promptings" when deciding to attend our sons sporting events and has thus missed 90% of them and he participates on the collegiate level now. She drives around a parking lot waiting for the lord to tell her where to park. She has missed thanksgiving dinners and Christmas mornings because this spirit told her not to go, that it would be bad for her. I think she won't even take a sh*t without praying to find out if it's a good time to do it. You get the picture.
So, this morning I get a crying, hysterical message from her that she is being evicted from her house because she hasn't paid the rent for the past 3 months. You guessed it, because the spirit told her not to worry about it, that she would be blessed and that somehow it would work out. Yes, crazy! Literally, she is crazy. She is mentally ill and has refused help on many occasions. She says that everyone else is sick and that she is the only sane one.
It may sound insensitive but I refuse to help any more. I refuse to enable her bizarre behavior.
I blame the tscc for turning a once beautiful, easy going, happy woman into this unstable, irrational, non-sensible person.
End of vent for now. Thanks for listening. Any words of advice or encouragement are appreciated.
