My heart is broken.....
by Strawberryfieldsforever inwhen you don't have much family left because they are all lost in the religion, you hang on to the family you have.
i take care of my aunt (who is only 2 years older than i am).
she is a drug addict and alcoholic.

(((Strawberryfields))))
I hope YOU have the strength to get through this.
maybe..........but she is already slowly killing herself. It is the choices SHE has made, whether in her "right" mind or not.She will kill herself if I don't help her
May I suggest you attend some AlAnon meetings, the ones for family, friends of alcoholics/chemical dependents.
Show your love for her by letting the professionals help if get "dried out". You may think it is love, but many times you are enabling her with her addictions, like others have said here.
Educate yourself on the disease of alocoholism/chemical dependency. I feel it is a disease but we are not without choices in our lives.
Sending hugs your way.

Does it ever get easier?
by Surfacing inmy heart is palpitating even as i write this.
it was only recently that i was introduced to this site.
i had long had doubts but could never bring myself to peer over the wall built in my head about the evils of apostates.

Surfacing,
you might enjoy Karen Armstrong's books on the "History of God" , etc. She gets into the background of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic beliefs.
The whold world is in front of you. And yes, isn't it exciting to read what we thought was "worldly" before and really learn!
Enjoy!
Joy
ps, have you read Raymond Franz's book "Crisis of Conscience"? May help you realize what type of an "organization" we were involved with.

Bid Farewell to Guilt and Regret.
by Blueblades in.
everyone's past is filled with regrets, mistakes and missed opportunities that still cause pain.these feelings are an index of our humanity, evidence that we have a heart and a conscience.. but from an emotional point of view, they are deadweights that keep us from moving forward.while they can't merely be willed away.i recommend you give yourself a good talking-to.. remind yourself that everyone has negative experiences.but whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that.holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.. from the april ladies home journal page 82. yes i do read articles in my wife's magazines.i thought this piece might help some of us here on the forum.. blueblades

letter to family
by kat2u in.
i am in the process of writing a letter to my mother.i have been told by family members that she knows im going to come back into the fold.and has thus decided that untill i do she will not be in the same place as i am again.this also includes mt parents 50th wedding anniversary in june.my father wants me there is has never been a jw.but mom has decided that if i attend then she cannot.this all added to the fact that she is in continual contact with my eldest daughter to "keep consistent" in their treatment of me.i am angry and intend to explain to her the fact that i will never be a jw again and to explain to her why.. i have seen many wonderful letters others have posted to family members.im just looking for anyone who has any ideas or thoughts that i might be able to use in my letter..
thankyou!!!!

Kat,
will other family members, besides your dad, be there who are not JW's?
If it is ok to have "family members" there then gently point out to her that she is acting worse than Jesus ever would.
Anyway, it was Paul who set up the silly "not to even eat with them" rule. And he was NOT talking about family members.
How cruel. sheeesh.
