((((((hugs)))))) ElsewhereI would like the answer to your question also......all my family is wordly....but, except for my parents I shyed away from them and so wasn't involved with them because they were"WORLDLY". I feel like a jerk if I walk up and say..."hey...I know I have only spoken to you 3 times in 15 years,,,,,but wanna go to a ball game?"My parents are my kids Grandparents and I didn't have the heart to cut them out....so we have them.....still I made JW's my family.......and now I am dissed.
Unrightiously(I know...many innocent in jail
) Still the shunning hurts to the innermost part of your being......you feel you'll never be the same....and even if reinstated the damage will just keep festering. And I don't mean anger or hate....but ultimate sadness. How can I look at people I loved so much in the same way again.....How can I believe when they say they care......when they abandoned me and my children in our greatest need?There is an invisible wall between me and the worldly....I can talk to them...joke with them....but if one says....your cool.....wanna go to a movie....I'm like...sorry busy....no can do. You should see the puzzled look. Now I feel there will be even if reinstated an invisible wall between me and the cong.......this damage is done and seems to be life lasting one.I wish I could give hope...this is not a very Utopian postI think therapy is an answer and meeting with X-JW's as already sugested........I'd say since you have the added Heart Break
of your family shunning you....(((((hugs))))) trying to adopt some suragate fam is in order.I hope and pray elsewhere you find the peace and love you need.agape,Utopian_Raindrops
