I never realized all the frustrations you are going through with your family.
I'm glad you got it out in the open, how you feel about things, to your Mom. Now maybe she will understand you more, and will want to work on a better relationship with you. I sure hope so.

...then i would feel responsible for them and after the way they treated me im not sure i want to be..
Yes, tij, I get that. My parents have treated me well, though, and have 'bucked the tide' and refused to shun me, so it's a bit different. Does that make sense?
And yes, feeling MUCH better today, thanks for asking!
Geoff,
You are so kind! Umm, I am an atheist, so I don't agree with your thoughts, but am sincerly appreciative of your sentiments. :)
Kwin,
I love you too, my sweetie!!!
BlackSheep,
My struggles with my parents cannot compare to your dilemma with your daughter. If I can help you in any way, you know I AM THERE!!!
Shera,
Keeping things in,just eats a person up.
Ain't that da troof!!!! Thanks, sweetie! Oy, it's hard to keep the trap shut sometimes. LOL!
((((hugs)))) back to ya! ;)
proph,
You have the right to be hostile. Now, hopefully, she'll be able to see as well as hear, all that weighs so heavily on your heart.
Well, I have no hopes of that,,, but I am sure feeling better now that I have read this thread!
kls,
she had it coming.
You are sooooo right. Thanks.

I am meeting with my entire family next weekend, first time in 10 years, to discuss my mom, religion, and inheritances, so I'll let you know how my weekend goes, I too, think i will lose it on them, but I will try and keep my cool, lol darling, hang in there.
Oh no!!! Be prepared to be treated like you are an undeserving son-of-a-bitch who is "less than" your siblings ... it hurts a lot, and I can't tell you how to 'get over it'. I'm sorry, hun!
Soledad,
Thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot to me. You are one of MY heroes.

Tal~ I wish I could make you feel better! Imagine a huge bowl of fresh strawberries with real whipped cream on top. Is it working?
You can call or drop in on me any time you need a ear to listen to you. l'm a great listener and I give a good neck and shoulder massage!
Hugs to you
Sarah
How did I miss this ?
Tal, my good friend, I'm proud of you. After all the talks we've had...I know your mother needed to hear your words (whether she know it or not), as much as you needed to say them. This has been coming a long time.
That 'empty' feeling you have, rather than the 'really good' one people are talking about is likely because there is no resolution...yet. You don't know just how she'll take it or when or if "it" will ever sink into her brain.
I have the same feeling when dealing with my dub children & relatives -- empty. Sometimes it's like 'everything' is just fake, nothing is real inside them anymore. Now I have a DF daughter, she's being shunned by her other siblings and even her mother to various degrees ! WTF happens to people's humanity, their empathy and love when they become entrenched in JWism ? Where does it go ? How do we help them to get it back ?
Tal, I hope you've pried open a little door in your Moms mind, planted that little seed and smoothed it over. Now, keep cultivating.
Love ya', Rabbit

I haven't been here for a while, and was looking for info. This thread popped up, and after reading it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Thought it was a good example of the support ................ the SUPPORT we have on this forum
Much love to all!

Good to hear from you!

You needed to get that out. Sometimes we try to be all politically correct and reason with people, and it just doesn't work. Maybe seeing how much you were truly damaged will make her do some soul-searching. She needs to face reality. I know that you did not want to hurt her. That's why many of us don't speak out. We "evil apostates" care about crushing someone and dashing their snow globe kingdom to pieces. Still, it's not fair that you have to be burdened with silence. You have a right to be heard.

Hey, Balaam, thanks! I am wondering, did you know the Wall family? Top of the food chain in Eastern Canada .. and I shudder when I think of the names "dan" and " LEVI " oh ............ he was a horrible man.
I appreciate your support and understanding (you know, far enough up the inner circle to know how fucking evil they are!)

I don't know if you realize it, but you are SUCH a good dad, and husband. You work so hard to be that, and in my mind's eye, you are a success! Don't let the JW stuff defeat you! Much strength and love to you, littel brother! xoxo
