I get the same reception from my parents too. I just finally gave up.
How different with my children, my 23 yr old son calls me the other night. Slightly intoxicated..and asked the stupidest questions at 2:00 in the morning. I laugh and answer the question...then call him back the next day to ask him what the hell he was thinking. He appoligized and said he didn't even remember it. I know many parents would be upset, but it really made me feel good that he thought of me.

Dude MY DAD is an Ass! Him and his new wife told me they did not want me riding my bike to visit them but since I wanted to attend meetings and field service that 15 Km trip was my only option....so at 18 I decided to stop calling and visiting until they call me...lets see 1990-2008 I'm still waiting for his phone call after 18 years... Jesus! 18 years!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe he talked to you at all. My mom has only spoken to me three times in more than 20 years, and it was only for family medical history.
I just got a sympathy card for the loss of my Father. It was from my in-laws....no wait, it's not for me, it's for my mother. Definite arss, I mean arsses.
Jesus CHRIST!!! (I dont think on this board that constitutes a swear word...even though it always does for me ;)
I try everyday to understand mental influences, and the bad side, which is brainwashing...but I can't help and think as an adult, that with a child, there is ANYTHING that could come out of a humans mouth that would motivate me to turn my back on MY child. I just dont get it. All anger and experiences aside, it just doesn't make sense.
How can a parent....choose between their own creation that they actively have had an integral part in since the beginning, something that in any circumstance came from a moment of pure expression...a definition of right and wrong as told by a loely man...and come away feeling right, just and even holy for choosing words....over love.
call me crazy...but to me that goes against everything a JW is supposed to believe in and support...
My father is an arss!!
Mine was too. He's dead now. I miss him sometimes.
Don't know what to tell you, just sorry your parents treat you like that.
I wish there was some way to hold the religious publishing company liable for all the destruction of families and natural affection.
Hope your parents wake up before it's too late.
