I am interested in knowing if any of you know of any devoted and active Mormon women who suffered abuse in the form of beating or abuse in any other type of way such as financial deprivation or verbal abuse.If a mormon husband was the wage or salary earner for the family and the wife was a domestic stay at home mother without her own income,then the husband can deprive his wife of spending money for herself and her children.
I want to know if any women here experienced problems in this way with an active Mormon husband who was regarded by his bishop or other mormons as a worthy member who attended Mormon temples and held high callings.
Have any women here or others you know of,complain to their bishop or stake president for help in such a matter and not recieve the help you expected or needed?Did bishops or stake presidents continue to ignore complaints from an abused wife and continue to allow the abusing husband to be regarded as a good practising church member and have a temple recommend to participate in Mormon temple rituals and be elevated to higher positions within the church?
