    Great points Reboot,,,,, I am very affectionate now with my own children, even the oldest ,,,,17 yr old son. I always tell them I love them many times a day. I hug them often, I tickle and play jokes on them. I comfort them even when they are wrong.

    It is so easy for me to show affection for my children , I have never had that problem. My sister is the opposite of me, she doesnt even like her child. I don't know why I am different,,,,we had the same circumstances and I am only 3 yrs older. I think I was a mother at the age of 6, taking care of my little sister, and my sister is still stuck in the route of me being her mom. Not so long ago I told her that it was time for me to stop being a mother figure and start being her sister. Old habits are hard to break, but we are closer in some levels because of it.

    I think when you have children,,,,you love them so much you will make sure they have everything ,,,,things that you didn't have. So , everytime see one of my children going thru a particularly hard time, I try to let them know I am here no matter what...that my love for them is never going to fail them. When I was young, being loved by my parents meant being near perfect , no mistakes, and who can live up to that? Not long and you will fail. Then you feel that the only way anyone will love you is by your accomplishments, how good you can be.

    I still have trouble showing my real emotions if someone gets too close to things I don't want them to see. I still feel that with some of my real life friends , that they may see something as a weakness . I am learning to let go of thinking I have to be so strong, so perfect even in my friendships. I did that for so long as a JW,I just kept a person at arms length and never let anyone into my world. I guess it was just old self perservation issues still at work with me.

    Sometimes I find myself emotionally detaching from friends, online, and off , and at times even my relatives. I have to catch myself,,,,and usually I catch myself by feeling empty and bored. I know that I can't hord up in the house and not be around people because it is my nature to love being around others.
    All those miserable , no friends JW years are ones that I never want to feel again.

    Gumby this thread has really opened up alot of feelings on the forum...

    I've made it my resolve to lay a big lovin on all the impoverished apostababes and hoochie momma's when I see them come hell or high water...yeah I know that's what Noah said and look what happened to him....

    He spent a year on a cruise boat then got drunk and spanked the only monkey he could catch after it was all over...to bad his boy's caught him.

    Flower.....can I come?

    Lady Lee,

    "No one knows, what goes on, behind closed doors". How true. I was shocked at the number of women with "ranking" JW husbands, that were abused emotionally and physically. Even their supposed perfect religion can't change a man whose born an asshole.

    Dede,
