  Thoughtless:

  The irony. ..

  That must have been hard on you. are you planning on seeing her again?

  Please let us know how you are doing.

  You say "adoptive mother," is that correct? In this context it would seem she is a birth mother? Or perhaps an adoptive mother who is no longer raising you? Sorry for my confusion.

  Thoughtless : hope you are doing ok.

  My mom had a nervous breakdown when I was little. She was a JW. I ended in up being raised by some JWs.

  My mom was DF twice. She came back in and now she is pioneering. She s in her 80s.

  My mom never lost faith- even after she found out that the JWs she entrusted her kids to were abusive and c hild molesters.

  I didn't go back with my mom until I was 13. It was hard reajusting. We still talk. I dont call her as much any more.

  Maybe your mom thinks you will have something in common since she is studying.

  I m thinking about you. If you ever want to compare foster notes. Pm me.
