Susan didn't get to celebrate Christmas with her boys or her family. Susan missed her boys' birthdays, yet there are people that keep planting rumors and lies that she is at a resort somewhere living it up. This is a down home girl that just wants a happy family, she's not a gold digger or she would have ditched ole Josh boy that can't keep a job, save his own life, long ago. Yet the man she married won't let her use the car to go to work and Susan has to ride a bike 7 miles to get to her Stockbroker job. Wow, that's real love right there at work. Yet Susan hangs in there and tries to pray it out.
Josh checks the grocery list and refuses to let Susan buy vegetables and forces her to grow them? More love going on there. You can bet his favorite things are on the list though. Then to top that Susan has to check in the car keys, why? Susan was the main bread winner of the family, yet she has to be humbled or poor Joshie will feel bad again, so he changes the pin numbers on the bank account so Susan can't have her own money. Sounds more like a gigolo to me.
Once again the perpetrator trying to turn it all around and make himself the victim. What is new with this picture? Still through all this and I am positive much more that Susan endured for her boys and family.
I know you may have read some of my articles and know that I too am a victim of spousal abuse. I too, tried to hang in there and yes I received counseling to finally get stronger and get out. My husband bashed my head through a wall, because I would not give him the keys to the car. There we go again. This is a symbol of freedom, so men have a problem with women driving for one and being independent and not needing them. They are very intimidated by that not needing them thing. Let me just say that it doesn't start out being so blatant. Small things begin to happen first that rob you of your identity.
It could be I don't like your hair that way or I don't like when you put on make up. It starts with small things to see if they can get away with it. Then it keeps progressing until they tell you what to wear, what to do and they begin punishments. Yes punishments. If you were good, they talk to you, if not you get punished. Maybe with holding sex as well. Actually I would get a pat on the head, like a dog. Apparently Susan was being punished for not following Josh's rules. Which I am sure got way out of hand and obvious to Susan. I will drive. It's always I and me and these are people that are very self-centered. They want the entire world to revolve around them. Jealousy is a biggie here. They are very very jealous of the person and I suspect Josh was jealous of Susan, but would not admit it to her. I had no clue that my husband was jealous of me, but after being away from the relationship and looking back, he was extremely jealous of me and kept trying to take away all my talents and possessions. He was trying to reduce me to nothing.
I did seek advice, counseling and anything I could to change him, to make him love me and you know what? That wasn't going to happen because he didn't even love himself. I am sure Josh doesn't like himself either. That is why I am fearful for the children. Josh will repeat what he is doing with another girlfriend or spouse, his children, anyone that gets in his space. He wants to be dominant because he feels so inferior inside. I am sure he is selfish and greedy. He does not trust, so how could he trust Susan.
The ultimate here for Josh is that he kept Susan from leaving him. He has her now and no one will take her away. He has punished her for being a bad Susan. Confined her and stopped her education of getting out, getting divorced and most of all of winning. Josh cannot take defeat. Rejection. He has the kids, moved out and has no alimony, child support and no one can find Susan, so vicious lies are being spread probably by his friends, legal team and family, which all stem from Josh.
So where is Josh today? He moved out of Utah so he is not close to the legal team there that will eventually prosecute him. He cleaned out the house so the police cannot search there anymore or take anymore of his possessions and he strategically moved his children out of the legal jurisdiction as well. Basically he lawyered up and ran. Call it what it is. His lawyer I am sure says he has every legal right, yet Susan's legal rights to live and enjoy her life and children and family are stomped out. The legal system works slowly, so Josh will have his turn.
How far will Josh get? Not far. He can't run from himself. He has to live with himself everyday. He doesn't like himself to begin with and now he probably hates himself. Is he suicidal? Hell yeah. The number one person to commit suicide is a man and the number one reason is a woman. He's got two on the list already. Now we can add that he doesn't have a job. Joshpowell.com is out of business by the way and the domain is up for sale. He lives with his parents, what girl wants that? Then he's got 2 boys, what girl wants to be a surrogate mommy? Then his past performance level of holding a job is weak to say the least. His future isn't too bright with a possible homicide charge when Susan's body turns up or is found. What future? How can anyone call this a future? Josh will have to consult with his attorney for everything he does now. Basically he can never talk again because the questions are always going to be asked by people not afraid of being punished by him. How can you live your life without talking? We are going to keep asking the questions, where is Susan? What happened to Susan?
People are saying he got away with murder but there is no statue of limitations on murder. In other words as soon as Susan is found and more evidence is processed, he's probably going to jail, just like Scott Peterson, Drew Peterson and now Ryan Crow's husband. Did he really get away with murder? No, inside he knows who did all this and everyday he has to play a game to survive. Looking at people, lying to people, living a lie, being a lie, lying to his parents, and lying to his kids. His whole life becomes one big lie.
How long do you think someone can actually live like this without having something happen like an illness for locking all this up inside? Having a breakdown and maybe never mentally being stable again. Sooner or later it will come out. It has to.
One murderer died of cancer. OJ got jailed anyway and sued. Dahlmer got killed in jail. Al Capone died of a sexually transmitted disease. They don't get away with it.
Not to mention God. God won't stand for this and is working behind the scenes as we sit here today. He has control of the whole thing. Jesus NEVER fails. Have you ever heard that? He doesn't fail. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. What goes around comes around. Karma. How ever you want to put it, whatever actions you have taken will come back to you. If Josh killed Susan he has the Lord to deal with. I have watched the Lord work many times.
There was a man that treated me very badly when I had cancer, a baldhead, was on chemo, radiation, the whole works. A friend of mine told me that the Lord was watching and something will happen to this man in the next year for treating one of the Lord's children so badly. You watch he told me; the Lord will take him down. Almost one year to the day, the man came down with prostate cancer and is dying himself. This is how the Lord works.
We have to trust God that Susan will turn up and we will have to search for her as hard as we can to find her. The Lord will expose who has done this to Susan and her family and he will have some price to pay.
Josh has serious issues. He needs help. He is suicidal and he is also controlling the children. He may look like a rock, but he is a mess inside. Instead of changing himself, he is trying to change his world, environment, wife, kids, and family. This is impossibility. His family should be helping him come forward at this time; otherwise they could lose him forever too. He needs help. Susan is missing, probably dead at his hands. He may turn on his family too. Big deal he has a lawyer, who may get him out of this mess, you may all still be living with a murderer. How can you sleep at night?
Okay you are asking yourself what if I am wrong? The better question is, what if I am right? There is only that fifty percent chance that I am wrong, which I know I am not. I lived it. It's the same thing domestic violence, over and over. The people are different but the situation is the same.
Josh is not talking, not looking for Susan, and taking her ribbons off the house. Josh knows Susan is gone and then has reasonable doubters planting suggestions of Susan being alive all over the Internet. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time. The police I am sure have more than that!
Internalizing won't help. It'll come out somehow. Josh it is time to turn yourself in. Save your parents some money and grief. Save the taxpayers money. Talk to the police. Show the police where Susan is. End this thing or your family will just be on television more Do it for your children as you are now ruining their lives as well. More people will have sympathy for you if you do that one right thing and stop the circus. At least they will think you are a man and not a coward. Is that how you want your family and children to think of you? You can hire all the attorneys in the world, but it won't change what I think you know you did.
The other option is that the media camp out on Josh's parents lawn and do what the military would do. Play loud music, intimidate and camp there until something breaks. It worked on Scott Peterson. The police knew his every move. He couldn't even run for the border in a disguise. Funny. Like who would recognize him with dyed hair. Yeah that saved you Scott.
My ex turned to drugs and alcohol. Something's got to dull the truth. The devil is always there waiting.One thing is fr sure, it does NOT go away, unless you do something about it.
Okay let's play this out. Susan's body is found. Evidence is found. Josh is arrested and prosecuted and goes to jail. The boys are put into foster care or live with one of the grand parents. Right now his parents have that edge which I know was also planned. It may take more time but the final result is the same, Josh goes to jail.
You really don't think that Susan is NOT going to be found, do you, after all this media?
The only ones that really know the truth are the boys. They are in danger. They were there with Josh. Josh knows this. Unless he gave them something to sleep, they may have seen something. At the least they heard an argument. He is keeping the boys away from the relatives, as he is afraid that one of the boys heard or knows something. None of this is normal and someone has to step in. He is controlling all the moves. Separation is the key.
I am sure the boys heard many other things in the household as well, but no one can spend any time alone with them. Susan's parents are being denied visitation.
Legal arguments. Can the boys be forced to be brought back to Utah? Can the grand parents file for custody and/or visitation? Can a Law Guardian be appointed to question the boys? Can child protection be brought in? Susan is not coming home and needs representation in her legal affairs now. In her absence do Susan's parents have any legal rights to initiate on her behalf?
Lord hear my prayers for Susan, her boys, family and Josh. Let the truth be exposed and Susan found.
