p.s. If I totalled up the numbers of years my relatives have "in", starting with my grandma who has been in since the forties...her dozen (yes, dozen) brothers and sisters...hundreds (literally) of cousins, aunts...uncles...we're talking a total in the thousands folks. Just think all the good they could have done if they'd used their lives for something besides sales for a publishing company...

Thank you for the welcome! It is interesting. I have not given my situation much thought until about a month ago. I realized that I was holding back alot due to the fact that I was disfellowshiped almost 20 years ago at the age of 19, in the process losing my entire family (parents, 6 siblings). I think the reason for holding back is because I feel "others" cannot relate to this type of family situtation. I am seeking out others who "know" what I am going through. I have a great life and am very happy . . . except for this unfinished business loomy over my head. Sorry to be rambling, but these are my thoughts. Thanks for listening. I look forward to getting to know you all.
