I know how hard it was to make a decision to leave the borg. Your story is encouraging. I hope I'll be able to say the same thing. My husband is still in and it hasn't been easy. Our relationship has been on quite a rollercoaster. My children are young and as things are I do not worry about them becoming JW's even though he takes them to meetings. My husband & I have had a breakthrough. He will not consider anything I've had to say (yet) but we are drawing so close to each other. I hope to be able to have a story like yours.
Troubled Mind I'm on Kyria's group on facebook I wonder if I know your son.

TM Thanks for responding with your encouraging words. I know it's a process and will take time. But it's painful now.
Being shunned by your own sons is heartbreaking. And it's so frustrating because when I get the rare opportunity to talk to my youngest I have to be careful what I say because being real runs the risk of being labeled an apostate. This religion actually forces people to be fake.
It's so ridiculous I can't even tell him I don't want be a JW because the leaders are hypocrites and liars. And the irony is that he is mad at me because of something I did 3 years ago that was hypocritical. He only found out because I didn't want to go on living a pretend life. Now that I'm real and not living a lie anymore I'm the pariah. And he continues to slave for a bunch of hypocritical liars and cowards.
It makes me so angry too.

00Dad and Flipper Heartbreaking to think about your children shunning you. It seems so much worse than the reverse for some reason. Great to hear your positive experience troubled mind.

Thank you for sharing that. So many of us, including myself are disgusted by their new tactics. I am so glad people are seeing it for what it is.

troubled,
How wonderful that you and your family are together. So is mine...my husband, me, and my daughter, now grown. Yes, it is great to use the mind I have, and live every day to its full potential.
