A year ago today my Mormon son beat me up when I told him I was leaving his mother and having my name removed from the records of the church.
Since then, I have been supporting him financially, as well as his sister, who's married to a TBM RM.
My daughter didn't wish me a happy father's day (neither did my son), a happy birthday (my son called me and wished me a happy birthday, and had called me a few days before to make sure he was getting 'his money'0, who didn't acknowledge my wedding, and who told me bluntly a few months ago 'You're only good for your money', literally - my daughter did. Via email.
So, trying to take the high road I sent her $1000 for a graduation present that we had gotten as a wedding present, for crying out loud, a wedding that she never acknowledged. I've heard from her exactly twice, once to thank me for the money, once to tell me that I'm selfish. My son wants me to support him to the extent of $250 a month for an unknown period of time, despite the fact that I'm on disability.
Today, I wrote to him and told him that all support will cease.
When I look back at this whole absurd situation, I think that I've bent over backwards to try to have a relationship with them, and I'm tired and fed up.
I'm through with it. Fed up, tired of both the blatant attempt to extort money from me (from my disability check), tired of the manipulation.
This is what 'the gospel' leads people to do. It's not enough that I gave them life, raised them, sacrificed for them, supported them.
My sin? To come to my senses finally about TSCC and to leave their b**ch of a mother after 27 years of a failed marriage. Oh yeah - to have my name removed, and to re-marry. Forgot those.
I can do without children like this.
