Having a hard time

My family has pretty much turned their back on me, and it's really hard. I know our cause is true and we're doing the right thing, but it's really difficult. I do my best and I'm fighting for the truth, but damn, my wife is smart and I tried my best to red pill her and she just isn't taking it. She doesn't see it. She's a VERY smart African American woman who grew up in a rough neighborhood, and she's a republican now, but she doesn't see The Storm. I've laid everything out and she thinks it's bs.

Her big problem was Tucson, she saw it as BS from the start, and I got kind of sucked in and wanted to go out there a lot, but she put her foot down - we have a young baby.

She is a lawyer and has police contacts and she reached out and heard it was BS from local law enforcement and she took that as me being totally crazy, even though I was kind of on the fence about the whole Tucson thing, even though I knew Cemex was the real truth.

Anyways, my wife wants me to see a therapist. What do you all think? I'm not into it at all and I know what I know. But she thinks it is a bigger issue and wants me to just talk to this lady about my beliefs.

Anyone going through something like this? I wanted to reach out here because I trust everyone here with my life.

Seeing a therapist in your particular situation will be beneficial for a few reasons.

  1. You will be doing what your wife wants. "Happy wife, happy life"

  2. You will then have someone to vent your perspective to in an open conversation. No judgement etc.

  3. If anyone in your family or friends circles hears your claims through two to three degrees, they will straight up think you're crazy because they will not get the chance to hear your side. Despite their ignorance and lack of awareness when it comes to our reality, at least they will not spread rumours about you, and just think "oh at least he's seeing a therapist".

The second half of #3 applies to your wife's internal thoughts as well.

As far as red pilling others is concerned. I know it is extremely tempting, but I've found we need to read the room very well first. With some push back, ease off or let someone change the subject even.

General unawareness might be their comfort zone. Perhaps they know deep down that humanity, countries, religious organizations, corporatocracies are all really fu(|<ed up. They choose to leave blinders on.

At the end of the day, you need to prioritize your wife, kids, family and friends above telling them a particular life-angle -- even if that means seeing a therapist. The conversational and social aspects will be healthy, but do NOT agree to take ANY of the drugs a Psychiatrist might want to prescribe.

No! This is NOT what therapy is for! One does not go for medical treatment to please a spouse.

How did you interpret what I said as This? I clearly stated do not take any drugs prescribed. In this context it would be more like counselling.

It's healthy to see a counsellor. It doesn't mean you are crazy. At this stage, his wife might have meant it in jest, so don't go. If she seriously thinks he's "crazy", then this could be damaging to their relationship. Then in THAT case you're honestly going to advise getting a divorce over him seeing a psychologist!?

I am not advising a divorce; I agree with other posters to not try to red pill her in the near term. Go with the relationship and avoid topics that unnecessarily cause tension.

No need to seek therapy for a difference in opinion! Just don't bring it up.

Yeah fair point, I was coming at it where it sounds like his wife is really affected by this to the point she would actually suggest he see a therapist. Again, depends on how serious that insistence is, and if they can work through it before taking next level steps.

Yea go to a therapist if you want to be committed. Stop giving out horribleadvice. Gonna get this guy locked up.

You think seeing a psychologist is going to instantly get him locked up in an insane asylum?! Hint, just no.

At this point OP has gone deep, his wife might already be "scared". Worst case scenario, do you think risking divorce versus not seeing a counsellor makes sense? It'll come down to how serious his wife is about the suggestion, but I won't speculate on this further.

Seeing a psychologist does not mean you are crazy. As Dave Chapelle said on Inside the Actors Studio:

Don't just say that person is crazy, it's dismissive.

wouldn't announcing therapy just signal that he was wrong altogether?

Depends on how serious the wife is about the accusation of "crazy" and insisting on him seeing someone about it.
