We’re technically still in, but just considered inactive by the congregation.
I live very close to my folks, and ever since I revealed my feelings about the WT, (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/9/158893/1.ashx) things haven’t been the same.
It may be paranoia, but I can’t help but feel that my mom’s comments to me are brief, short, and cold. We use to chat all the time and laugh, and now she avoids me. Any time I do see her, it’s only when the kids are involved.
Our history isn’t that great. She admits that she was a neglectful mother and also that my brother is her favorite. I had my difficulties as a teen, which probably didn’t help much. As an adult though, I thought our relationship improved. We would talk all the time. My mom was my second best friend (hubby #1). I considered us to be very close.
But with her coldness, I am feeling awful, just awful about it. I feel that she hates me with such a passion. I feel that she finally has an excuse to not have to deal with me anymore. I just can’t understand how she can toss me aside.
I was on youtube last night and couldn’t help by relate to this girls situation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETYTrEIoYl4
Everything is falling apart. I feel I have lost my mother, my friend. She looks at me so cold, without feeling… it hurts so much.
What do I do?
