I think my parents arent talking to me for good this time (page 4)

Ugh that makes me PUKE! Your terrific Nan doing what she can to get your mum to be a human, and mum just.... grrrrr! I'm so sorry. Does your Nan have a mobile, or is there any other way that you can contact her?

The other day my mum called, I was surprised and happy (and worried) as I answered the phone, but there were no words, just the sound of something being broken or ripped. I sms'd with 'was that the sound of tiles being chipped off the walls?', assuming that she'd called accidentally, during their renos. It's since occurred to me that it was the sound of my stuff being ripped up and broken, and afterwards she was too ashamed to admit that she's that vindictive and crazy.

My mum is going insane, it might be true of yours too. There's nothing we can do about it; it's the product of the years of mind games that they even signed up for themselves. The thing they want from us is impossible to deliver. They're going to burn themselves up.

Just love your three babes! They've taken enough of your happiness.

Mr Frass just said some very rude things about both of our mums! heh

My nan doesn't stand up to it either, but at least she talks to me. If your mum is anything like mine, she'll have given her own mother a lifetime of self-righteous lectures and worn her down to very little. Imagine you have a daughter. Now imagine she's a devoted witness. That thought makes my skin crawl.

Anyway back to you and the Es family - there's far more sunshine in your house than theirs! You create joy there, you really do. You are so upbeat and cheerful, and they can't take that away from you. Work with that!

sass_my_frass - I'm gobsmacked . I think you're probably right about ''The thing they want from us is impossible to deliver'' - it's about their loss of control. The Society is about control, and I think (maybe subconsciously) its members mimic it - and as parents, we/they are already used to 'controlling' children.

Your story perfectly demonstrates how this dangerous cult ruins families and lives. Just think how powerful a thing it is that causes a parent to deny the natural affection they still must feel toward their children and grandchildren! How unnatural! And evil! As an older one (but without children, thanks to the WT) I will tell you that deep down this is hurting them at least as much as it is you, but they will never admit it. And of course they see themselves as the righteous ones. It took my wife and I 30 years to finally wake up. There is hope for them. And if they do, what they will regret the most is all of their missed opportunities for a loving relationship with you and your kids. The sad thing is there is no way to get that back. But until they do wake up (and you must realize it may never happen) you cannot get bogged down with it. For the sake of your kids and hubby (and YOU!) you've got to lift up your head and move forward and make your life everything it can be. As has been commented here, it's up to them to come around, there's nothing you can do, but just be a normal, loving human being. My wife and I would be proud to have had a courageous daughter like you. Carry on, sister!

Sorry Es, for what you are dealing with at the moment.

The organization seems to be hitting the jw's hard with 'anti-apostate' propoganda now. They are bleeding out and they know it. So don't be too hard on your folks, they may soon come to realize that they need to have a relationship with you. That damn religion just makes people act like that. Looking forward to that thread real soon that announces 'My parents are back in my life'

anyway she said i will just pass the phone on to your mum so i stayed on the line....so my mum has the phone and just hangs up doesnt say hi or anything.

Good Lord! You should send her a letter telling her how she's fulfilling a bible prophecy where Jesus said that in the last days people would "have no natural affection". That ought to sufficiently freak her out.

I was shocked, they havnt spoken to there grandson for 8 months nor me.

Well, I think the day will come when she and your father regret their hard-line response to your marrying a worldly guy and (gasp!) having a birthday party for your son. I have some friends that are in the exact same boat but the opposite: my girlfriend's son (an elder) won't let her see the grandkids now because she celebrates Christmas and birthdays. When the boys asked why they can't go see Grandma now, their father told them that Grandma doesn't love Jehovah anymore, and she's chosen pagan holidays over her grandchildren. Nice eh?

The true love of God put to action.
I simply can't believe this kind of stuff. Even if your parents feel you have totally strayed away they should be there with loving care, ready to support their child (need I say prodigal son????). The fact that the love is only there if you come back to the Watchtower gives us all another fine example of the mind controll the group exercises. I'm sure this is all not easy for you. Keep strong.

Sorry to hear that. I would send them pics of their grandbaby all the time to show them what they are missing. Then again, I am kind of rude like that.

Es

thanks greendawn and akjeff, drew and unique1

Sass- thanks soooo much for your words of comfort, they mean alot. I cant believe your mum did that, i would take comfort in that she def is miserable with her life and yet you are happy and she cant handle that.

uncle lenny- you made me cry they were beautiful words you can be my adopted dad.

Mary- i like the bit bout the letter that would be great to send. How pathetic of that son
