Parents of Teens--I need encouragement

i am really feeling down today, can't stop crying.

i just need some words of encouragement from other parents that i will survive my kids' teen years.

my 13 year old is trying to discover/find herself, has emotional issues--since birth, cuts/burns herself secretly--she is on prozac, in regular counseling, spent time last year in a physchiatric hospital, and just generally always has stomach aches or conflicts with other peers and is flunking math as usual as well as getting bad grades in citizenship lately.. my 17 year old son is on probation for being in a fight last fall, and does illegal stuff for cash.

Help! I am really feeling down today, can't stop crying. I just need some words of encouragement from other parents that I will survive my kids' teen years. My 13 year old is trying to discover/find herself, has emotional issues--since birth, cuts/burns herself secretly--she is on Prozac, in regular counseling, spent time last year in a physchiatric hospital, and just generally ALWAYS has stomach aches or conflicts with other peers and is flunking math as usual as well as getting bad grades in citizenship lately.

My 17 year old son is on probation for being in a fight last fall, and does illegal stuff for cash. He is doing well in school and will graduate in June. He is very popular, has lots of friends and is into eating healthy & working out. Sounds conflicting huh?

I have tried so hard to be a good mom, and I feel so discouraged. All 3 of my kids have abandonment issues due to a vacant father. My 20 year old daughter is doing ok & in college thank God.

I feel confident that I have done the best I could do in my circumstances, but somehow I feel like I have failed my kids because I couldn't give them the life I pictured for them.

i'm just going to start at the beginning.. i was anticipating the memorial all day.

i was nervous but excited, kind of like standing in line for a roller coaster.. ok. so erika gets ready at her house, and i get ready at mine.

i'm wearing a black suit with a light green shirt, and a tie that had hues of green and yellow in it.

Wow Richie--you really are your own person and I love that. As far as making your mom cry, maybe she needed to have a good cry--it's not healthy to keep everything bottled up and she is the one who is shutting you out; but maybe someday she will reach out to you, you never know.

Thanks for sharing the information.

I love all you posters out there--don't be upset with Yadirt (hey does that stand for Jehovah's Dirt?) He's just jealous because he's still chained to all those hogwash beliefs. If he really was a serious JW, he wouldn't be on this forum debating with us evil Apostates. Unless of course he fell asleep during the District Assembly when they had the talk about the Internet being evil. LOL

Upset & Need to Vent to Compassionate Ears

i am so grateful to have a place where my experiences being treated like one of the walking dead can be understood and empathized with.. i was opening my mail last night and there was a bill from local hospital.

i opened it a bit confused because i have not been in a hospital in 2 years.

it was a detailed bill for my stepson.

Sorry about what you're going through. The JWs are awful toward other people.

Your Opinion Wanted-What should really be done to child molesters?

by avidbiblereader in

i have not tried to hide my past as a victim of this, but this is always an area that i have to fight my personally feelings as to what should be done to child molesters.

they ruin lives, scar an individual for a lifetime!.

should they be incarcerated for life, castrated, turned over to the family member(s), public humiliation like a branding everywhere they go, tortured and or death penality?.

love2Bworldly

After seeing firsthand what this abuse does to a victim (my exhusband was severely & violented abused from about 9 years old to 15 or so by an uncle) here's my thoughts on that--

They should be hung by their penis until it falls off and they bleed to death, oh and covered with fire ants or some other deadly bugs. How's that? And let their victims watch if they choose.

My Letter of Disassoc-part 3 elders are after me

by love2Bworldly in

any comments?

i'm thinking of mailing this letter.. .

march 13, 2007. to west c elders of jehovahs witnesses religion:.

love2Bworldly

Actually, in some ways I wanted them to read my name at the KH. I am a logical & straight shooter. I wanted my sister to know how I really feel, because I knew deep down that because I kept avoiding the subject, she had it in her head that I still think in her JW mindset. I am my dad's power-of-attorney etc and she is my back up, and she kept causing a lot of problems at my dad's house even though she lives out of town so I needed her to back off and leave me alone. She was causing too much stress, and my siblings also get upset with her tactics with the family. By her behavior over the years, she has shone a bad light on the JWs for my non JW family, I have family members who call the JWs family wreckers. So anyway, I wanted my sister to leave me alone and I do not want the JWs to knock on my door anymore--I would rather have them scared to knock on this Apostate's door LOL!

My Life after Bethel part 3

by new boy in

we started attending the wakefield r.i. kh after the marriage.

at the first meeting i went to, "buddy" weber came up to greet me.

he had left a very good job in seattle (he had his own radio talk show) and was now a janitor, living were the need was greatest, at the time r.i had the worst publisher to normal people ratio in the counrty 1 to 1600. i'm just standing there listening to him as he is giving me the "what he has done for jehovah story" what his "spiritual credentials" are, how wonderful his kids are, were they were pioneering, how he had givien up a good job so he could serve the lord my cleaning windows in rhode island............because the end was coming soon in 1975, just a few months away blah blah.......blah.......it reminded me, so much how the jws love to martyr themselfs and how much they say "we are all equal".......but on the other hand, they love poistions, that deep down inside they believe that some are really better then others and that they are working there way into the "new system".

I like Corona Beer with a twist of lime.

If most here R anti jw why bother writing mean hurtful and prejudges posts?

by ayhra in

if most people are anti or ex jw why bother if you dont believe in it why waste your time writing mean hurtful and prejudges posts and set up a entire web site and forum dedicated to them.

its a religion not a cult and people write about jw's as a whole everyone is an individual and just like the rest of the world there are nice caring people as well as bad awful people.

jehovah witnesses dont set up web sites saying and exploting awful things that non jw's do to them, such as teasing bashing raping even murder..

love2Bworldly

Jeffro said it best for me, by quoting from the source. The Watchtower is like the scripture that talks about white-washed graves full of dead mens bones, may look good on the outside but inside it is vile and disgusting.
