Good for you, MP.
The first step is the hardest, and everything after that becomes a rediscovery of life itself.
That's sweet, that you're going to dress up the baby for halloween. The kid's going to have a semblance of a normal childhood, and that is a gift that is beyond words, believe me. I can't imagine the joys I'd have in my memory if I was allowed to follow my heart as a child.
Stay close to your sister; you definitely need her now.

Dear MP...enjoy your life. Breaking away from the fold is like giving birth. The pain will pass and the child will grow. Live well, Maverick
I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, but I wanted to add my voice too. Welcome to the board, and congratulations on taking back your life. Just keep making your life your own.
Monkey,
You have my best wishes and hopes for your future. It's not easy standing up to family, especially those that are inculcated with the ability to control using guilt and fear. If you were in my neighborhood, I'd throw an "independence party" for you!!!

I hope you have a smooth transition.

Congratulations! What a wonderful beginning. You should feel wonderful that your child will never have to be cast away from you - think of all you've spared your sweet child.
HooRay for you!

I'm proud of you MoneyPrincess!
It's not easy in the borg ... so really it is all about choice ... the transition to living is do-able!!!
she responded with "i love all you girls too, but not unconditionally".
Is this really what dubs are taught...? That their love for us is conditional...? I'm just wondering if that is really something spewed from the platform, or is it her personal take ...?
'Cuz I'm a shunned mom. My daughter and son have that conditional kinda shunning love for me...
