It was a letter expalining they loved me and wanted me back in the family but of course there were strings. I must first humble myself and repent truly and Jehovah would be a merciful and forgiving God. I thought for awhile as to how to respond and finally today sent a simple e-mail back saying I regarded their' card as spiritual and emotional abuse. That my family left me and I have no family. Please stop harrassing me and leave me in peace. We will see what happens.
You saw their attempt at getting you to come back for what it really was....emotional blackmail. "we love you....but..." "you can be our son....but..."
Calling their bluff must have been a very hard thing to do but unfortunately the only thing you can do if you don't want to be blackmailed into being accepted again.
