I have just left my parents home and the JW's about six months ago and have found it hard to get over.
by StephanieH ini finally desided to leave the witnesses therefore my family and basicly everyone and everything i had ever known.
i was 19 about to be 20 and i had just finished my first semester at a community college.
i was shocked at the respons of my father and others about me attending college at first they were ok but behind my back they were pretty much betting on my failier.

Welcome!
Good for you at 20 to be so brave. You made the first step but six months isn't much time to heal from 20 years of abuse. Give yourself time to breath. Glad you are in school that is a good path to take. I've been out now three years and it is still at times hard to grasp. It was a slow healing for me. Lots of reading this site and Crisis of conscience by Raymond Franz and I liked reading books by ex-jw's... it takes time.
May God Bless YOU!

One of my good now EX-JW friends hates this. She had not been to the KH in about a year and a sister told her this. She thought Wow not one phone call in a year and you expect me to believe you miss me?

When I first left I had a real hard time with this. As a born in I felt like I had so so so many good friends. When I found myself on the "other side" no one tried to help me back in. It was an instant "de-friendship" of just about everyone I knew.
I craved friendship! I was used to lots of people I viewed as friends. I was used to the "instint" friends thru the years. I thought that was how everyone made friends.
It took me a while to find non-jw friends. I didn't know how? I didn't know how to pick a good person, or what a not so good person was. Being a born in it was easy. you are a JW you are good, non JW=Bad.
I have a few now I would call friends, met through work.

AwSnap - BIG HUGG to you!
It hursts! It sounds like your sister does love you but the cult has a hold on her that she can't see the obvious. I like what you wrote her. Reminding her that it is HER that is hurting your relationship and how you feel about it. My brother has shunned me but when confronted tries to make it like it is MY choice?! It's just cult mind thinking. Best wishes any day you'll be a MOMMY!!
Love,
FS
