    A few months ago I noticed that my mum had put her house up for sale, She doesn't live far from me and I had occasion to drive past her house.

    Well I've had a funny unsettled feeling all week, and I drove along the back of her house yesterday, and all the curtains were gone, she'd obviously left. Feeling brave I drove round the front, and yes its empty, doesnt look like she's been gone long.

    I got out and went in the back garden, and looked through the windows. My childhood home, just gone, and empty shell. I can't tell you what that felt like. I feel shattered at the cruelty of the wintesses. I'm not saying that my mum didn't have a right to sell up and move away, Just that they are so cruel. She had moved away and left me. She has moved away and left her four grandchildren. And all this is dictated by the cult organisation.

    Why didn't she at least say goodbye? or tell me that she loved me?

    Probably coz she doesnt. I'm devastated, am so weepy. Just wanted to tell you guys.

    Oh Shell.

    ((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))

    That is awful! No wonder you are feeling so down. Is there any way you can discover where she went?

    Sorry Shell.

    My parents did the same thing. I found out they sold their home when I read it online.

    I had my daughter call my sister, she will speak to her, just not to me.

    and found out my parents had moved several states away.

    No phone call, no letter, nothing.

    That's been about 3-4years ago.

    I haven't seen them in nearly 10yrs.

    Sad, sick people.

    I'm so sorry. I couldn't imagine how hurt you are feeling.

    I'm glad you decided to post about it here. I have been thinking of just up and moving, and providing no updated information to my JW relatives, on account of them shunning us. Your experience has made me decide against doing that, even though they have already hurt us deeply with their behaviour.

    Shell my heart sank when I read your post. I can imagine how awful that must have felt. It is horribly cruel. Please try to have a good cry for your loss and then not allow this unchristian and unmotherly conduct to touch you anymore.

    Man, that's sad.... what a waste, to let absolute fools that don't know what the hell they're talking about ruin a family. What a freaking waste. I know first hand the how that feels, and even though words don't do you pain any justice... I truly feel for you.

    Shell, that is one of the sadest stories ever. So I guess you have every right to feel sad, but hopefully just a little while. Four grandkids should be so hard to resist. I hope your mum was good to you while you were growing up. Try to imagine what she would be like if/when she wakes up from this nightmare of a cult.....please take care....oompa
