  mothers day can bring up many issues for some of us.

  for some their mothers have passed away and the opportunity to say i love you in person is forever lost.

  for others, our mothers are lost to the wts.

  i got this in an e-mail from a childhood friend that is still an active jw.

  i found it to be very upsetting and was wondering if anyone else gets the kind of e-mail forwards from friends/family that are still in?

  and how you handle it.

  i need some support and advice with my situation and hope you don't mind me going on a bit because i feel wretched!

  i hurt so much with my jw family relationship and find it so frustrating that whatever i do or say doesn't make any difference.. my son and wife had a little girl 9 months ago, my first and only grand child and i love her so much.

  when she was born my hubby and i helped them a lot wiith buying all the expensive things she needed, as my son hadn't a well paying job as being a die hard jw he believes in the "education and career isn't what you should be doing propaganda" put out buy the wt.

  Am I an idiot??? - ok, don't answer that... but, seriously... I've....

  noticed that i'm seeing all these things that i didn't see before... like when the wt or revelaton book states something, or when the bible states something... i mean, i never noticed this many things before... before, i noticed only a few major doctrine issues.

  but, now, i'm noticing things all the time.... i mean, i'm trying to take a break.

  i'm trying to not pay attention... but, they are saying things that really piss me off and i'm wondering to myself, what the hell was wrong with me... how did i not notice it before???

  she looks like maria callas.

  she died of leukemia four years ago because, you know, she didn't want to have blood transfusion.

  when she died, i didn't cry at all, though she died with my right hand on her chest.
