I haven't posted in a while... been very busy lately. I am glad to be back though, I started reading the posts right away, and immediately felt comfort for how you guys are feeling, knowing I feel the same way. Not many of you know my story.... but for a quick run down... I'm a Disf'd jw, for about 11 yrs now, I'm 28, disf'd at the tender age of 17... My mother and sister are still in the ORG... they only talk to me when they want to, it doesn't have to be an important event, life or death or anything. My husband and I will associate w/her and her(my sis) husband and drink beer/liquor together.... get intoxicated... play pool, listen to music.. My mom has has us over a few times to eat, blah blah blah....
Well, the point or my question is ... after being on this site, I'm getting stronger to the fact that I want to take a stand against JW's... I'm glad I'm out of the org!!! but.... Should I continue to let my mother and sister see me when THEY want to, for no reason at all??? Because we all know that when you are disf'd, your family that's still in are not supposed to associate with you... not even really eat a meal w/you.... esp.when you don't live in the home w/them.... which I don't!!
I want to take a stand and not let my mother see my kids, I feel she don't deserve to see them, after all, she chose being a JW, and shunning me at 17, why should I let her see my kids grow up, when she didn't see me grow up??
What do you guys think??
