REPOST: For those without mothers

by Lady Lee in

jw
friends

mothers day can bring up many issues for some of us.

for some their mothers have passed away and the opportunity to say i love you in person is forever lost.

for others our mothers are lost to the borg.

Mother,

I have a hard time even calling you that at this time,because mothers dont turn there backs on their children,nor do they do the other things you have done to me.I never could imagine being as angry with you as I am now.

I know you have drawn your line in the sand that you wont again be in the same place as i am untill i "repent" and turn back to what you think i should be doing.I WILL NOT! Because of this line you have drawn I plan to never see you again.This does hurt but because of your influence much more is at stake here, you have sucessfully influenced my daughter and now I have no relationship with her or my grandaughter.

Where were you when it was tough for her.When she was soo sick and we were given no hope when she was young?

Where were you when her son was diagnosed with his problems?Where were you when he died?

Well I was there for her and was the only one who supported her not you or any other JW.Just me.

I have other situations I wish to know why you wernt there when I needed you as a child.

I hope this anger I feel right now will become only a dull ache when I think of you, as I continue to grow and heal from what you have helped to cause.

The Soap Opera Continues

by JohnR in

after reading many stories here i guess i should have seen this coming but i would not have thought it possible with my family.. my brother and his family went over to the org over ten years ago.

we were informed recently that one of my nephew's(jeff) got out and we could not be happier.

jeff is seeing a woman who is very nice.

john,

This is a ver common thing among JWS.I am shunned by my mother as well as my adult daughter and her family.

It is extremly painful not to see my grandchild although we live in the same town.My mother refuses to ever be in the same place as i might be.Its very unloving and cruel.

okay, this is kinnda a ranting thing here and i am taking deep breaths as to not kill my dog.

my son and i planted 5 trees today in my yard, ya ,lots of work and it was cold and very windy and it took about 2hrs.

well big deal you may say, well it is cause i went out later and the f---dog dug them up .i walked outside and saw all my trees laying on the ground.

If it is a young dog still,then you can hope for some improvment.When my dog An English Setter was a puppy she more than once found the edge of the lanscape fabric and pulled it all up ,unrooting plants and scattering bark everywhereShe is 6 years old now and the best dog ive ever had.She spends most of her time now days being my foot rest.
