In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, Lady Cee welcomes Ms. Ivy back to the show for a third heartfelt discussion. This time, Ms. Ivy shares the painful reality of parental alienation fueled by religious disfellowshipping within the Jehovah's Witnesses community. Despite having legal custody of her 16-year-old daughter, Ms. Ivy faces the heartbreak of her daughter choosing to live with her father, driven by the divisive policies of disfellowshipping because Ms. Ivy is no longer a part of the organization.
Through Ms. Ivy's story, we delve into the complex layers of faith, family, and the high cost of standing by one's convictions. This episode sheds light on the emotional and psychological toll of disfellowshipping, not just on those who decide to leave the faith, but also on the innocent family members caught in the crossfire.
Join us as we explore the challenges and consequences of religious practices on personal relationships, the journey of finding one's path after leaving a high-control group, and the resilience needed to rebuild one's life and identity in the aftermath.
