I wish i was adopted... (page 2)

Es

I kinda know what your feeling. My parents who are still JW cant accept my fiance who isnt a JW my first hubby was and then didnt like him either. But everytime i mention my fiances name in my dads prescence he leaves the room. He hasnt even met Mike. So i have basically said if you cant accept Mike then dont accept me it gets to a point where its just easier to do that, then be subjected to that treatment es

**btw....thanks guys. sometimes i wish ya'll were my real family...**

There's family of birth.
And there's family of choice.

Choose to be the people who really love you unconditionally and who respect your right to make your own decisions.

**no he's not...that's what kills me...i'd expect this from the rest of my jdub family...not him...**

Sometimes people are just rude.
No jw influence needed.

Sounds like Matt's a real decent guy. I think I'd be inclined to find other associates than my own difficult, rude and judgemental family.

-Aude.

(((Kitty)))) You poor thing, I know its hard for you. My witness family did not want to accept my hubby, when I first introduced him. God, the migraine headaches I got from the stress of it all. And actually, I would put him up against any one of my brothers, and my father, he is a much better man. Decent, good, loving, patient, the list goes on, (cute too, yay for me!)

Anyway, I know how you feel sweetie, and hey, its their loss, ok? Seems like we keep knocking ourselves out for their acceptance, and what for? And your Step-MONSTER, someone called a gold digger, yup, sounsd like it. Hang in there ok Sweetie.

there is no way that i came from a family like that...not me....no way....i got mixed up at birth. my real family is kind and loving and not judgmental.
luv, jojo

You did get switched at birth and we finally found you. Almost all of your real family (us) were switched at birth also so it was one helluva deal to get you back with us. But we are happy we found you.

Kitty:

Im sorry you have to deal with that in your family; we all have family like that on one side or the other, some are in closer relation than we would like. The best thing you can do in a situation like this is live your life on your terms and show you can be happy without them in your life if they can't respect you or the person you chose to be with. Just surround yourself with positive people who will not zap you of energy and negatism. ;)

What a terrible weekend for you and bf!!! I wouldn't even waste my time and energy on folks like that. You and Mike be the loving family that you don't have. Best Wishes with your future. Don't look back too often!!!

That's Right JOJO, I'm your long lost brother. Uncle Honesty and Uncle CYP and me went to Granny Hadenuf and Sister Brooke's house the other day.

You guys are family- and the best kind too... Cause I can cut this screeen off whenever I want...

I used to wonder that myself.

I know how you feel. When I moved in with my girlfriend, my father treated her like garbage. It eventually got to the point where I quit speaking to him for 1 1/2 years. Neither me nor my girlfriend needed to put up with that crap. I adopted her parents as my new ones. They were nice to me, and I got along with them just like they were my best friends.

As time progresses, you'll be able to define your relationship with your parents. I don't see mine very often, and I like it that way. I almost never take my father's "advice" on how to live life. He pretty much tells me what to do.

I've decided that I don't need my parents' approval on anything. I'm a grown adult, and I need to make my own mistakes.

you know i was thinking

my own folks were/are extremely upset at what i did and when it happened with my sister too

and they would never condone it and would stick by the jw thinking on premarital sex and affairs and stuff

....but they would never in a million years treat anyone like they were sub human

I wish i was adopted...
