Hi Bonnie clide I love Catherine Cookson too. My father was born in the north of England Sunderland Co.Durham, all his brothers worked in the coal mines my grandparents didn't want my father to work down the mines so they sent him to London when he was just l4 yrs old. He worked as a bell boy and eventually became a valet at the Dorchester Hotel valeting the wealthy rich and famous. My mother was a waitress there she was evacuated from Gibralter during the war. That's how they met. I was born in London.

Just had a yelling match with my JW mom....help

she blames me for everything.

i have a conversation with my sister (non jw) and the result is my fault.. i feel suicidal.

i've never yelled at my mother and told her she was wrong..

Hi Dianna I am sorry you are going through this. Don't let your mother control you, calm down and let your family see you are in control and that you are happy with your life. I wish I could turn back time my parents were very controlling if I dare mention what I wanted to do with my life outside watchtower world they would explode. My dad was a bully and used the org. to control us I ended up having a massive breakdown I let them control me even after I got married. I agree with Gayle to have love, joy peace for yourself first dont let your mum or family take away your joy or what you want to do with your life.

Getting angry plays into their hands let them live their life and you live yours. How I wish I had this forum then with everyones support and advice. I wish you well Dianna and keep talking to us.

Love RosePetal

Where do I begin?

i'm new here but have been reading/lurking for several months.

it's good to know that i'm not alone in my ex-jw status and that my story and experiences are not unique.

i have no bitterness or anger anymore.... that's long gone since i left some 12 years ago.

RosePetal

HI Backspacer WELCOME it was interesting to see how you woke up so quickly. I wish my family would wake up and ask themselves the same questions. You sound like a very strong person I like your positive outlook on life.

Love RosePetal xx
