Oompa that must have been really tough. I'm not sure I have the courage to do likewise, I guess I am still hanging on to hope however unlikely. My dad actually told me it would hve been easier if I had died. Seems harsh but its true. With shunning there is no grieving just an uncertain sense of loss.
told my parents to never ever tell me they love me again....

We're also moving and hopefully will be in a new place by the first of November
Say WHAT??! Is it what I think it is, dear Miz Josie (the greatest of love and peace to you, my dear!)??? If so - WHOOOO-HOOOOO! I await your call/PM, girl! No rush, though - when YOU have time!
Peace!
SA, on her own, apologizing to dear Oompa for the aside - again, peace to you - but this' important!

Oompa, I'm glad you've taken one more healthy step forward. You and your sons are free. You've accomplished something that your parents, grandparents and great grandparents couldn't do!

thanks mrs jones and so many others...glad it helps just now......i am just so tired right now.....wanted to comment on all...but just thanks everyone and i hope what i said can help someone...u never know what it could do as far as their thinking....it may not at first...maybe they are already awake but cant show it...and i get it for sure if you cant walk away from all at that age...hard enough at any but the younger the better i think....but maybe it will let them doubt enough for me to be alive to them again....oompa

That was hard man, and RIGHT. I reckon you did just fine with your epiphany talk.
it is time we shunned ones shunned those shunning us. Time we told them we were cutting them off.
perhaps then, they will realize the real price of WT loyalty.
