My parents and his parents are still hardcore Witnesses. We're not DF so they still talk to us, but honestly the relationship has changed. Especially from my parents, they always have this look and tone of pity when they're around us. My mom told me just the other day that she's worried about our son's life, which pissed me off royally! We have some extended family that are in as well, elders and such. They've basically ostracized us, even though there has never been an "official" reason to (DF, DA, etc). I go out of my way to tell them how much I love them and include them when I hand out family pictures and things like that, but I guess they think we're a bunch of heathens. Oh well, what a sad way to be.

Welcome FRESHSTART. It is fantastic that you are "breaking the chain" so to speak. If I can prevent the kids in my family from getting sucked in, I would consider that the greatest success of my life.
