After my mission I got married in the temple, to a girl I didn't know other than from when we were children at church. Everyone around us was encouraging, even saying they were getting revelation that we were a match......god seemed to have excluded me from that little tid-bit of info, because I really felt like I didn't know what I was doing and what I was doing was just going along with it.
She ends up being mean, violent and abusive, physically, verbally and emotionally. I was in hell and my family knew it! The same ones that got the message from god that it was all good. My temple wife was most likely bi-polar, if not manic deppressive. She refused any real help.
During a particularly bad period at the beginning of the marriage, I was telling my dad just how bad things really were. He looks me straight in the eyes and says......"do you think she might have a demon"?
I looked straight back and said, "no, I don't think she has a demon, I think she is mentally ill and needs help and/or medication". All he offered was a blessing....couldn't think of, or even fathom anything helping beyond god/church.
Well, I divorced her years ago and am happily married to a never-mo. In the years since my leaving her, my ex has been suicidal many times, abused more men after I left her, had several DUI's, has had her license suspended, starts drinking in the morning, attacked me in my own home, destroying property and injuring me as I threw her out of the house (literally), done a few weekends in jail, and was issued a no contact order by the judge so she can't have anything to do with me for about 99 years. THANK YOU!
And all mormons can do is offer their magic as a solution.....the only solution! Demon my ass! What an idiot....yes, my dad. It's stuff like this that has left me with no respect for him now that he's gone. He led a shallow life with his head up his religious ass, not enjoying anything, always trying to be a sacrifice for his church...thanks Kolobians....you too Pops!
