Oh, Jessiqua. Yeah, that was creepy as hell. Naive seventeen year old girl married off to a guy in his 30s after her parents manipulated her into thinking he was the one God picked for her. (From the way it reads it seems like they were manipulating him a bit too into taking their oldest off their hands, one less mouth to feed). The more I read about him the more the husband came across a lot like an Arndt manboy, physically 30ish and mentally and emotionally 19, the whole thing was just a mess and the parents pissed me off so badly.

yes! just like an arndt man boy. i knew my husband would appreciate the mind-blowing that would come with this story and i just HAD to find it again.

 

it's actually pretty interesting talking with him sometimes about fundies, both my own upbringing and stuff i know. some things that i just kind of take for granted he has to pause and rub his head because it can be a little overwhelming to those not in the know.

Welcome back @browncoatslytherin! I hope your little guy is doing well.

thanks! glad to be back. the little is doing extremely well, just extremely fussy and strong-headed for an almost 16 m/o. i posted a pic of his chunky ass in the pregnant and parenting thread.

For future reference, in 2019 Jessiqua & "Blackbeard" (Marty) got divorced, as did Jessiqua's parents.

Hopefully before “Blackbeard” had a chance to knock up his child bride.
I wonder how many of the YLCF courtship storied actually ended with “And then we got divorced.”

They were married 8+ years and have 4 kids.

Edited to say, they were legally married 8 years but I think the oldest child is older than that, I think they had a religious ceremony first but didn’t have the legal marriage until later.

Ugh. I wonder how she’s doing. She’s ..... not even thirty with four kids?

Yeah. She apparently posted that she got a job working in a casino. Most of her relationship/blog stuff has been scrubbed from the internet but her books and writing are still up.

She had also been working as a doula before the divorce. I’m not sure if she’s still doing that.

Thanks for the update.  I was trying to google her blog, and not finding anything.  I tried to put that page about her wedding into the Way Back Machine (internet archive) and nothing came up.

Predator, and I'l call him, somehow adopted a couple kids. His son is 12, and his daughter is 11. It's so hard for single men to adopt that I bet this was an unofficial transaction.

 

 

Okay, I know it's been a few years since you wrote this, and I can't find Jessiqua's blog to look at the original anymore. 

But when I saw your bit about how he had adopted two kids...  I was wondering if you have ever seen that Reuter's report on re-homing adopted kids?

@Bugeyedmonster2, just so you know, DGayle is no longer a member. 

Okay, thanks for the update!  I've been away from FreeJinger for a bit.  All the recent hoopla within the Duggars (and watching Without A Crystal Ball) sort of brought me back.
