    Welcome to the board, arko_n9ne!!!

    Wow, that story was better than a lot of soap operas I've heard about!!!

    Be prepared for further bizarre directional changes in Anahi's behavior.

    She has a brand-new baby, with NO means of support other than her family...

    Her family are mostly ardent followers of the Watchtower Corporation...

    In order to remain in what would appear to be a 'safe' place, Anahi is going to have to compromise, compromise, compromise whatever her true feelings are, and behave like a "good little Jehovah's Witness girl"...

    This is going to cause MAJOR internal conflict in her. Which might cause her to lash out at people who actually ARE trying to be REAL friends to her - like you and Zuly.

    Unfortunately, the birth of her daughter has placed a MAJOR 'millstone' around Anahi's neck.

    When I was still a Jehovah's Witness, married to another Jehovah's Witness, I knew that I wanted to get OUT OUT OUT someday, somehow. And I knew that getting out would be TEN TIMES AS DIFFICULT if there were children involved. So I made sure that I never had any... [birth control methods and sterilization...]

    What would be BEST for Anahi - and NO ONE can tell her this; she has to figure it all out for herself - would be that she go BACK TO SCHOOL, learn a skill or obtain a degree in something that will allow her to earn a GOOD wage, then go to work and SAVE HER MONEY - until she can get her own place and LEAVE THE FAMILY.

    Again, FAR EASIER to do WITHOUT CHILDREN...!!

    I think that poor Anahi is going to be trapped in the cult for a very long time... She might even decide that her best 'solution' would be to attract a devout Jehovah's Witness man and marry him - which will only enmesh - entangle - her even deeper...

    Poor mixed-up kid...
