  How true Terry. My awakening was the most humbling experience in my life. Feeling totally convinced of the "truth" from my earliest memories, and realizing how false it was the next moment tore me up inside.

  Kate my mom was not where she is now. My mom originally had custody. My dad was df'd. She started dating again which made me frustrated. I was 10 when they divorced and it had nothing to do with the religion. My dad was getting reinstated when I was 12 and she had started dating "worldly" guys.

  Everyone in my family believed this was the "truth". Including my mom who remarried a non witness. My young life consisted of playing mediator. Yes my Dad said many negative things about my mom as did my older siblings grown said of him. When I was with her I played the role of confidant and tried to make her happy and assure her of my love.

  These are some of the reasons I moved away from my family when I turned 17. I moved over 1,000 miles away with an uncle and aunt to pioneer where the need was greater. Or to get away from family drama.

  Congratulations Kate. I remember being in a similar position. My mom and I were separated between the ages of 12 to 21. I lived with my dad until 17 and moved away from everyone when I was 17. Came back from bethel at 21. My mom is now the only one outside of my wife and small children that I have a relationship with. We now talk every other day.

  I met a philosophy major last night at a business mixer. Raised Muslim now atheist. I didn't get in until 1AM. What a blast. Haven't had a night like that in a while. What a difference meaningful conversations are.

  I absolutely loved this. Of course the longer I'm out the more I think I want to study philosophy.

  I wanted to add to your observation regarding selfishness being our instinctual starter. When my daughter was a baby I read somewhere that you should always have your youngest child or most convelescent person in the back seat on the drivers side when driving. The reasoning is that in an emergency our first impulse is to swerve away from damage to ourself. In an accident split seconds matter.

  This is so depressing. Sad doesn't come close to capturing it.
