(Read to the end)
My friend's husband won’t let her visit any friends or family. He has made her stop all contact with them unless it’s on the phone or computer. He reads and censors her comments on social media. He makes her feel like she's going crazy for thinking he’s controlling, and that she is being ungrateful. (After all, he’s only doing this because of how much he cares about her.)
He doesn’t want her going to the gym anymore, so she doesn’t go. He also doesn’t let her go to work anymore (he told her to only rely on him for income and that he will take care of her).
She's not really allowed to go out anymore, unless it’s for necessities, and when she does, he makes sure to have people guilt trip her about it and shame her for it.
He wants her to have this medical procedure done and tells her that if she does it, he will allow her more freedoms.
He constantly says he's only doing all of this because he cares... he is just doing it for her own good.
Oh wait....did I say husband? I meant the government.
My bad.
Y'all are outraged if a person does this to their spouse, but are passive and compliant when it comes to our government.
Listen and start asking questions.
Turn off your TV and use your brain‼️

I'm with a woman that this kind of thing happened to. It has taken years to release her from the programming. She's pretty good now but, on occasion, will say or do something that is from her past.
God bless her and you for sticking beside her. A little love and patience goes a long way.
Thank you!!!
Yes, have patience- you'll end up being punished (by accident) for shit you had no hand in.
It's difficult for sure, and no lie no matter how tiny you might think it is, or that you're protecting them somehow, is worth the havoc it creates in them ❤️
Patience, kindness & honesty, it's good practice for all of us for what we are about to go through.
Now let's hold hands and move forward into the beautiful unknown ❤️
