I'm sitting here at work on my lunch hour alone in my office with tears running down my face.
I think that says it all.

When parents disown their teenaged or young adult children, they miss out on seeing them mature.

Thank you for all of the kind comments! I'm writing a book about disownment. It's been cathartic. Today is hard because it's my mother's and brother's birthdays.

Are you up for adoption ?
I would love to have you as a daughter.
Are you incontact with anyone who knows your mom?
There must be others you knew who are more reasonable ?
Could she have had a change of heart ?
Can you contact her ? Or just go to her house ?
I know this would be scary, but bring someone with you.
Someone, your father, your brothers, may have finally
questioned the "truth". You never know.
Just a suggestion, may be don't emphasis the atheist philosophy ?
Can you do a peoplesmart.com search for all your family ?
Do you know what happened in their lives in 12 years ?
Check facebook or myspace and see if they are there.
Your brothers may be a contact for you.
People do change and I am sure at least of of them
has left the "truth".
May be your brothers are looking for you.
Have you moved ?
Do they actually even know where you are ?
Its worth a try. My daughter shuns me, but her
19 year old son ( my grandson ) and I SKYPE
and email and talk on the phone.
I also have a connection with my 18 year
old granddaughter.
But the pain and loss of my daughter
stays with me, no matter what.

I have always thought that one of the worst things JWs do is disown kids who really need them. Why disown your kid when he/she needs your help the most? How cruel, unloving that is.
