The coercive control is the WORST!!! It’s hard to prove it. Their silent treatment and passive aggressive treatment goes on and on for months at a time. The emotional burden is almost unbearable. Lord, please help us!
Wow, this was very powerful! I have lived in many similar ways. First time I ever heard someone state things that were so deeply relatable. Praying for you.
I love how she summarized Leslie's conquer in emphasizing being "WELL". Related so much to her story! Appreciated her emphasis on everyone's path and time-line is different. Just keep looking up and moving forward!!
Oh Hi Jennifer. 🐨. Shelley from Victoria here. We joined Conquer in the same year with much of the same experience and same thought process. Thank you Sis. You nailed what I went through and where I am at. I also took it that I was special and not that he hated women. The same punishing treatment and threats of divorce. I also noticed my tennagers were more mature than he was. He stormed off to his computer for three days with silent treatment. The only difference was that he is not a ladies man and I refused to move overseas with him. 😢 I also did not realise that my inability to sleep was fear of the person next to me for a number of years. My panic attacks caused asthma attacks that did not stop till I had left and keep coming back as we head through property settlement. I even have a similar church shunning story with the same two types of people, elders and pastors. I am just bawling as I hear this. Any way we can personally connect? I really long for Conquer friends in Australia.
I've shared this and other videos with a dear friend with whom I'm pleading to join Conquer. I reminded her that she can buy a Credit card at the store, I've offered my house to go through the curriculum if she needs to...she's dragging her feet, she's so stuck! Pray with me that she won't miss out for this session 🙏
Thank you so much for encouraging her! Ultimately she has to decide if she’s ready to do the work. Hopefully she will. Thank you again for being an advocate for her. ❤
This has been the overarching tactic that did wreak havoc ito my core- yes, of course, it built upon the formative years of other horrors, but it did it’s own specific damage. I have been navigating and unraveling these this dynamic in light of scriptural Truth, and the leading of the Holy Spirit.. I will heal and see and understand - fully- in Jesus’ name!
This is so hard to listen to bc it is like she’s reading my diary (my husband isn’t a pastor but very similar situation in our church counseling sessions). Like clockwork the cycle of abuse is the same with zero self awareness on his part. I’m finding I have to listen to this in chunks to get to the end bc it’s so heavy. I’m hoping there is hope at the end of her story.

I just signed up for Conquer! May the journey begin.
WELCOME Penny! I know this will be a life-changing (in a GOOD way) decision for you.

Jennifer, this is so helpful.
To many, I’m sure.
I’m so sorry you were treated this way by your church, let alone your husband.
So much truth !!! Christian women need real help.
