Yes ,I was just telling my husband this the other day . We are both early 50's and he said he feels the same way . I thought it was hormones ,but maybe not .
Terry you have been through a very trying experience and your body and spirit have been stressed to maximum . I think things will even out for you as you heal . Glad you are out of the hospital !

Feel the Goddamned Love
by AK - Jeff inmy mil of 38 years - who has not spoken to me for the 9 years since i left her cult - died on sunday.. today, as a favor to my sil who has spoken to me very rarely, for the same reasons, over the same period of time, i was moving some personal items to her home from the nursing home.
in this instance i guess it is ok to speak with me - if i have a strong back and a conveyance that aids her needs at the moment.. anyway, in the parking lot of the apartment complex where she lives, while we are moving in those items, guess who shows up?
five or six of my old 'best friends'.

Been there Jeff , Except in my case the old 'friends' will greet my husband and completely ignore me . Going into a restrurant one of our former best friends of 30 yrs was holding the door open as we entered he literally looked over my head as if I was not even there and greeted my husband .

Finally Awake this sounds so much like what happened to my husband and I ! You are so right ,it is a great feeling when you know they no longer have power over you and it is driving them crazy . Kind of a satisfying guiltless pleasure .

A thread for those who have no support system or a place to go due to shunning.
by ohiocowboy inreading the recent thread about the young lady who just ended her life got me thinking that maybe there could be a thread that is easily accessible to anyone who may need help due to homelessness from losing their families and friends to shunning.
too often i hear stories about people who have lost everything, and have no where to go, and at the same time having no type of support system.
unfortunately there are some who are so lost that they feel that there are no options besides taking their own life.. i think that a website that matches people in need to others who can help in some way would be a great idea.

" We are at the one inch line ..and some are stopping and looking around and wondering where we are in the stream of time.
RUN!!! IDIOT!!! RUN!!! Don't look at the time...just run...run...we're almost there."
Yeah right .... The reason that the player may be standing looking around is because he has been playing this 'f...ng' game for fifty yrs. ,and has just now realized life has passed him /her by in the mean time . The GB still screaming at the masses to NOT think about it just keep busy ,busy, busy, doing the meaningless tasks we tell you to do .
I agree with what Mrs.Jones just wrote :
"We're the event that the universe is watching."
Delusions of grandeur, the universe is completely indifferent.

I wrote a D.A. letter

Snakeface , We did a similar fade as you . One day I just woke up and told my husband I am done, and quit going to meetings . We had one stop by to see where we had been, and then nothing for about four yrs . We had been active regular publishers for 32 yrs ! WOW one visit (underwhelmed) .
After I put up 'Winter' decorations on my porch they all of the sudden took interest in us again ,relentless interest , ... I wrote a letter like yours and filed one with the local Police station stating I wanted no further contact ....I too said, "I have been inactive over four yrs ,and no one cared ,so let's just keep it that way " .
Hope your letter will be enough to have them leave you alone .Enjoy Life !

....and a new wrinkle
by outsmartthesystem inso i was giving my daughter a hug at bed time last night.
she stands up at the foot of her bed and wraps her arms around my neck.

I agree with many of the comments so far . Reassure your daughter . Let her know you love her and will always want only the best for her . (Do not lie to her ...if you don't worship Jehovah don't say you do )
It is time to confront your wife . Indoctrinating your daughter against you is wrong and you should not tolerate it in your home .
I grew up in a 'divided ' household and from a very young age was told that one day my Father ,and unbelieving Grandparents may one day try to take me from my Mother ,and it was important for me to remain loyal to Jehovah on my own . This was when I was 5-6 yrs old ....this seriously stresses out a child and it should be a CRIME . It is emotionally abusive to thrust Armageddon fears upon young childrens minds .It caused me to never trust my Father or to be totally honest with him . This was a shame because it was all based on my Mom's imagined persecution possibility all based on Watchtower CRAPOLA ! It has only been in the last few years that I am actually having honest heart to heart conversations with my Dad ....he is 83 . Don't let this happen to you . You CAN prevent this outcome .
You need to have a serious talk with your wife . Stand up for your daughters well being ,mentally and emotionaly.Tell her what is acceptable ,child appropriate teaching and what is NOT .
What kind of life do you want for your children ?? It is up to you to provide it ,do not make the mistake of sitting back and letting your wife make all the decisions of the childs up-bringing . You are the Father and YOU have a big say in this you know .
