    Email I sent to my sister:

    I heard from Sheli by email. I wish I could have heard it from a family member. Please let me know the details. And especially when the service will be.

    Email I received from my sister:


    I'm so sorry Brenda. We have all been so upset. Mom had a heart
    attack about a month ago. She was staying with Feezer and Mary as
    their house is all on one floor and they have extra bedrooms and
    bathrooms. We thought she was doing better and off and on she really
    was. They had trouble trying to regulate her medications and that made
    her sick too. The heart attack did much damage to her heart and also
    her kidneys. She had to go back into the hospital 2 more times after
    the initial hospital stay, but the last time she didn't come home. It
    was all quite sudden and we thought we had a lot more time with her.

    At her request, we aren't going to have a memorial service and to tell
    you the truth, I'm not too sure I would even be able to go myself. I
    am not handling this the best, but hopefully it will get easier in time.

    My response. Thank goddess a close friend (a true friend) just called and stopped me from saying much more at this time.

    you should have let me know about her health. i am frustrated and angry. dammit! I should not have had to hear it from a non-family member. I have plenty more to say, but I will likely regret it if I do.

    And when this dies down, I will have a scathing letter I will send to all family members denoucing them and their religion.

    So sorry for you..... to bad you did'nt have more time with your mom.

    The last little bit of time I had when my dad was passing was quality.

    He confirmed so many things about his experience with the loving ORG, I swear I'll never be a part of it again.

    And my lovely polite response to her:


    Quote:



    Every member of my so called "family" will receive a flaming letter from me, outlining my resentments and anger, and the NWT reference , I'll use their own bible against them.

    I can't believe I didn't swear in that. much more effective.

    oh my god (or rather lack of)...there is no excuse...no excuse. whatever youre feeling, remember youre a victim of a very abusive group, and this treatment is one of the lasting effects. be proud of yourself for reaching out for emotional support. oh, i'm going to cry for you, i better stop typing...

    SB.
