Can you ever forgive your family for shunning you?

Hi jeannie... I've forgiven my brother. Never my parents though. Holier than thou crap that they have. I could really go on and vent, not gonna let it get to me. If my parents ever did come around, we would never have a child/parent relationship again(not that we ever did). I would treat them as acquaintances, you know, 'how's the weather' type of thing. hg

You mean WHILE they are doing it? :-)

yup...

Yeah, like Gary said. If they quit, sure. We all did dumb things as cult members. If they take off the blinders, I wouldn't hold their behavior while still "in" against them.

For now, hard to say. I guess I don't currently hold it against them personally. But they're just my inlaws. If it was my parents, or my children, I think my attitude would be different. You expect more from your own Mommy, Daddy, kids.

definetly not while they are doing it. Guess that doesn't make me a very good Christian then does it?

the relatives who shun me are so dysfunctional that I think they are using the religon as an excuse to just be nasty.

I do not care. Not having them in my life is not even apparent....

They didn't. I shunned them.

I can forgive them of shunning me!

However, I could not forgive myself if I were to shun them!

I actually enjoy the shunning. There's nothing to forgive about doing me a favor. I hope they never quit. They are finally doing something that I like. If they started to talk to me, THAT would piss me off.
