  today i had some of my worst experiences.

  i saw a jw group walking on preaching.

  one of them knows me well, we share a lot of week-end on rbc.. my first reaction was rage and nerves.

  My mother is losing her old personality

  by Faithful Witness in

  2. experiences

  i have been trying to engage and talk to my mother and her "natural" personality as much as possible.

  she has obvious concerns about the jw's, and we do discuss issues almost every time she visits.

  we didn't see her for long stretches (months at at time, and suddenly a year had gone by...) we have now both committed to a minimum of a monthly visit, and we will work toward more.

  I know it is hard, but go visit your mom already!!!!

  Don't borrow trouble. Just love her and see how you can help her through this-bring her some homecooked meals and go clean her house for her next weekend.

  i just heard on breaking news about a shooter in kansas city.

  he is in his 70s and has a decades long history of antisemitic hatred.

  i believe he killed three people near a jewish center.

  People can hate based on religion, ethinicity, nationality-whatever. I think that like Hitler, they usually use a 'commoner' and more accepted predjudice to justify doing things in their own self interest-because that is what they are all about-their own self interest. Completely.

  I've been lucky to never suffer chemical addictions, but I have had a couple of drug reactions. Have a real, live,supportive person close to you as much as you can stand it. Someone that can hear you without judging and who can truly "be there" for YOU at this time. At least till the suicidal thoughts are gone.

  Take care. You seem like you have overcome a lot. You can do this.

  when i was last here, my mother had recently been diagnosed with cancer.

  there were potential issues regarding transfusion, none of which eventuated.

  she undertook a course of chemo which worked quickly and effectively, with minimal side-effects.

  I'm sorry for your loss. I've been there with my dad. I'm glad your family was not split by thereligious divide.

  I think Americans really wnt to make the oscar winning heartfelt speech, but with true emotions, nothing needs to be said. You mom knew everything. She saw how you were handling it and even if she would have liked to have you just sit with her-she knew you, she knew exactly the depth of your love.

  I spent a bad week here in Pakistan. We planned to go to Rawalpindi to meet my husbands old Professor and as I was looking into train schedules, noticed that a bomb got a train (Yeah, THAT train.)then I got food poisoning along with my husband. 5 days later, I decided I might live. 2 days ago I was telling him to tell my kids how much I loved them (I'm a drama queen,ok?!) He told me "You don't need to tell family. They know" He's right.

  It is nice to have you back!

  Sounds like a smart kid that has smart classmates. I wish him all the best and freedom to know what that is.
