    MY MOM!!!

    She and the rest of my family have been shunning me since Dec. 24 of last year. She told me at that time to never call her because of my new "religious" lifestyle. Even though I'm not DA'd or DF'd, her and my dad thought it was best if they cut me off because they know that I participate in holidays and other things that are forbidden by the borg's standards.

    Anyway, after the phone call was ending, she said that she misses the kids. I told her that I'd be glad to bring them down and she didn't have to worry about "associating" with me because I'd go to a movie so they can have time with them and be comfortable. She said "well, you're not DF'd but I really don't want to discuss religion because I'm not going to change". I told her that I feel the same way that all I want is to sit and drink coffee and play in her flower garden with her. She said that sounded good to her too (I think she's missing me too ) just the "arguing" on religions has tired her out. Mind you, it was her that would always bring it up. She felt that she needed to "save" me before it was "too late".

    I thought I would share this with all of you. This is a small step but any step is a good step in my opinion.

    Hey that's fab FF. I'm glad things are coming round, that's quite some progress. Hopefully it's just the beginning.

    Awesome!

    It's always promising when human beings actually use their God given common sense and natural instinct to reject the totally unscriptural BS that flies out of the bowels of the WTS.

    I love the way that conversation went. Love is winning in her heart. I sure hope she continues to let it and doesnt let the Borg pressure her into shunning you. Im sure she felt great relief that she reached out to you and instead of meeting her with accusations, you reached back!

    oooh...warm fuzzies of hope!

    I'm so happy for you! Sounds like the relationship is moving in the right direction. I'm happy for your kids too to know their grandma.

    It would be a great idea to stick to not talking religion.
    When she brings it up, tell her you had an agreement.

    This is great news.

    I say Hooray for you- just as long as she does not discuss religion with the kids when you she has them alone with her. Make that plain or she will try and convert them.

    That's great she contacted you! You wouldn't really leave the kids alone with her though would you?
