    Richard Cranium sounds like a great man. lol

    You are a very strong lady and I appreciate you sharing your story. I have been away from the WT$ for many years too. I will continue to read and post until I feel the need to move on from here. I spent so many years with no one to talk to about my JW past and JWD has been a life line for me.

    Thanks again, love. Can't wait to meet you and Richard C.!

    LOL, I forgot about that He is a great guy and I hope we have a chance to meet very soon.

    I forgot who asked, but my relationship with my son right now is horrible, he has bi-polar, drug addiction and has attempted suicide several times. I hope one day he can get a grip on his life and we can have a relationship, I'll be here to help pick up the pieces when he needs me! By the way he's almost 25, so he's no longer a child, if you were wondering.

    thank you for sharing your story..i can't believe that you were so courageous at such a young...and you had such a clear idea of what you wanted to do..nursing school, moving out with our friend..really amazing....i'm sorry that right now you're having problems with your son...what your parents did in telling him is sooooooooo wrong on so many levels....they completely underminded you...i hope things go better with him in the future...

    I'm gonna say this one last thing then stop, because you are probably tired of reading about "me".

    At some point I got soft and started allowing my son to stay over night with my parents. If there is one thing I could change it would be this. Their influence on him has had terrible consequences for my now adult son. They filled his little head with all sorts of bad thing about my husband and I, told him that he was gonna die because of us, and the straw that broke the camel's back was when mom told him that my husband was not his dad.........

    I dont find your story tiring, I do find it hard to read how screwed up we really were as JW's
    But I am happy to read your in happy marriage .
    It is amazing that the LOVE shown by the WT is total HATE,,,, May God Bless you & I hope the son that is gone from the family sees the light someday
