Need to keep reminding myself otherwise can see a huge wedge developing between us. Don't want to lose him to the wts.
If you don't mind my asking: Is there someone close to you who can help you with this?

I come here a lot - and read a lot. My daughter is fading too. My non witness brother is very understanding and supportive. But other than that I have to admit life sucks

I'm running out of energy here, but for a last post tonight:
Another example can be seen in my dad. Everytime he prays, we hear about how imperfect we are, and how much help we need, and how much we're suffering, and how much the world and Satan beat us up, and how much we need the help of the Slave. I mean, just thank god for the food and get on with it! No need for a mini-sermon. But of course my dad has either deep depression or is bipolar (I'm not sure what it is, and I don't want to ask), so no big suprise there. The question is, was dad this way before he was recruited? Or did a couple decades in the Tower make him like this?
Sir, you evoke yet another deep feeling from me here.........
It took great effort (and severe prompting from Mom) for my Dad to pray out loud, either with us kids at dinner, or before bed...and I never ever saw him cry.
My most honest answer would be...no, the WTS did not make my Dad what he is: he was what he was long before the WTS ever crossed his path.
And I will shed my tears at his gravestone.
