    Everything has been going well for me for awhile until tonight. Mom calls and announces she can no longer talk with me. I'm sad because I don't get to see Mom and Dad or my little neice that's Sierra's age. But I also knew it was coming and thought this would be the last year. I gave a good cry and now I'm feeling better.

    Anyway...this just happened..

    So why did she feel she could talk with you before? I just consider it emotional blackmail. My family did that to me when we were all "good" JWs. Suddenly stop talking to me without any indication why and even refuse to tell me why...if I lucked out they would tell someone else who would coming running to me.

    Well, we love you FF and we are proud that you are a loving mom and going back to school.

    Sorry to hear your bad news. Not much comfort now, but drop them a line
    every once-in-a-while saying what's going on in your life- perhaps a letter.
    Try to communicate over the phone if some major bad news comes across.
    Send them a gift of not much value, but a sentimental one after a year or more.
    Don't let them change you.

    TRY TO FORGIVE THEM FOR BEING IN A MIND-CONTROL CULT.

    I am sorry for you and your family. They will be facing the bigger loss-because they are doing it to themselves. Buck up, you are right to stay strong and not be blackmailed. i know its hard. Take care.

    Dear FF,

    Sorry to hear the low-down on the bad news waiting in the wings. Many of us await the possibility of losing our families too. Stay close to the JWD board. I don't know if this advice given me would suit where you are religiously-speaking, but when I was undergoing similar trials, the fair-minded elder helping me said, "Don't let anyone take away your Christianity." It sure seemed some JWs in good-standing were trying to do just that. I prevailed.

    Wishing you the very best,

    CoCo
