Heh. I was being polite with my post, obviously, given what others have said. And Magick does give good advice, doesn't she?
I still think that a good relationship with a therapist is most important, even if that therapist is clueless about JWs. I also still think that the therapist may not be giving advice as much as reflecting your ambivalence, Oompa. You may be the one who still thinks a part time relationship with meeting attendance will work.
I felt very sad reading the comment by wings about making fading a lifestyle. I again realized how lucky I am to finally be through it. There is an end in sight. Another side. It may be hard to see it now, but things do get better. But as so many others have indicated, it helps to make a firm decision on one side or another. If you want to resign yourself to staying as you are now, attending meetings but hating every minute because you want to keep your family together - that's a valid choice. But where you will be 10 years from now?
maybe it's like ripping the bandage off quickly.
