i guess this time of year with the holidays my thoughts gravitate to family and for me it's usually a time of reflection on how my relationships have been going with my family .

thinking about what i want to accomplish or avoid in the coming year regarding family relationships.

thus i thought of this question in my thread as a way of reflection on my life ; and thought it might help some of you reflect as well.

MINIMUS- Glad you are close to your mother as well !

STILLAJWEXELDER- I'm glad I understood your situation correctly. Good luck with your situation.

YKNOT- I hope your situation improves sometime. It seems family dynamics can get so complicated - especially when the witness thing comes up.

Thought I'd mention this is Mr. Flipper responding - Somehow the administration made an error and logged me on as Mrs. Flipperpcout - and didn't get me my original Flipper password, but another one my wife applied for. A situation I'm sure will be rectified shortly- allegedly. Peace out, Mr. Flipper ( not Mrs Flipperpcout ) Jesus.

STILLAJWEXELDER- I'm glad your parents get along good with you. So I assume your parents are not witnesses - they just work with you to keep it from your wife that you really don't believe in it. That's cool.

TREADNH20- Glad you get along. Having kids helps But you are right gotta keep the peace about the witness thing .

NO MORE KOOL AID- I've often felt like you that my family would have been a lot closer had the witnesses never converted my parents in the 1950's ! I'm sorry the witnesses caused a split in your family . It is tough for sure.

SCARRED for LIFE- I hear what you are saying. Some families just can't let go of the witness thing. They allow it to interfere with authentic and real family dealings. I have 2 witness daughters like that. It's too bad your parent's couldn't have just mellowed out before they died and have been authentic with you- just for a short time. I'm so sorry.

FINALLY FREE- Like you I came to understand my parents behavior better as I got older. I'm glad your relationship improved with age. Maybe our parents begin to understand all the adversity we have been through better - I don't know.

YKNOT- I'm sorry your parents treat you like a child. It sounds like your parents want to stay young not just physically, but emotionally as well. You are right - some people never grow up or mature. Peace out, Mr. Flipper
