Backgroud: I am a 5th generation JW. My dad was always and elder and my mom pioneered when her health allowed. I DAed in Jan 06 and didn't hear from either of them in a year. Then my mom talked to me just enough to say hurtful things that left me in tears. May 07 my mom left my dad. Then my mom got disfellowshipped for smoking. During this time she was talking to me and even visited twice. Then she went back about a month ago to my dad. She decided to go to the meetings and quit talking to me again. Well last week she called to say that she was unhappy and wished she hadn't gone back. So this morning I got this e-mail from her:
I told your dad that I didn’t want to have to choose between you and him. That I think we have the choice to make in our lives and we have to live with the choices we make. I told him that I wont to be intitled to make decisions in my life that I want to do and that my life is not centered around just him. He told me that he feels that I slipping away from him and his religion. I told him I wanted to go out with my friends and that I feel so relived that I am not a JW any longer. Tonight I’m going to tell him that I will be with you at Thanksgiving and Christmas. And that if he wants me to move out I will BUT this is what I will be doing.
