Restrangled, My sympathies.
XU, you make a good and funny point, asking your parents to do better job of shunning you. I'm getting random emails from mine. . .really they're preaching emails shrouded in talk about the weather and what's going on back in Phoenix. But they are 75% religion, my dad retypes Wt articles about the JW view of forgiveness and what having love really means, yada yada, I hate it and I don't read it and I don't comment to him about it.
Just several months ago I was told by my folks to consider myself an orphan, which I adjusted to slowly, and now this barrage of communication from them, it's a charade.
Best wishes to all who are dealing with jw family.
