larc,
I appreciated reading your post too. I was three when our family started attending meetings, and can really relate! I wasn't allowed to sleep, draw, or read any "other" books when sitting through meetings. I frequently got smacked back into line if I was squirmy. Thank goodness for trips to the restroom. I have no idea how I made it through all those years!

My own children never went through that, and although they could have done more than I had hoped, they are still warm, loving, good human beings, with no "inculcation" no week after week of programing, they grew up like flowers in a garden, and I am happy to know them as my children and as my friends. Thank God for minor miracles.
Yes, thank goodness for that. You are truly blessed!Alia
