Heartbreaking story. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us and good luck and lots of strength in the real life. I experienced something similar although it was at a much earlier stage of getting involved with the JW crowd. We have been divorced now for 10 years and there does not go a day by that I don't think about what happened and how I could have prevented it. My then wife (Russian by birth, I am Dutch, we were living in LA, CA since 1995), got involved with a bible reading group, which is mainly attended by Russian speaking people. To keep it short, my wife was brainwashed and dragged into the group, which later turned out to be JW's. In this spiel my stepdaughter , who was then only 8, was pushed into it by her mom, not being able to make decisions on her own yet, as to what she is getting into. For years I was able to visit them, since they still lived in North Hollywood, CA, but since they moved to Washington state all contact was gone. I still had my stepdaughters email address, but never got an answer anymore. I am heartbroken. I miss my stepdaughter, who turned 19 last month. Maybe not the place to ask, but does anyone have a clue as to how to get in touch with her? Sorry. This is the first time in 10 years I can share my story... it took me a while to start using the internet for my quest to find her and then try to open her eyes now that she is older. thanks
