On my last topic I talking about how mean and harassing my parents were being and how I had to change the deadbolt on my front door to keep my father out. Well the update is my father didn't carry out his threat. He never showed and has ceased calling. Quiet before the storm? Perhaps, but I'm not going to let it get to me - I've got a husband to take care of and a family to raise. Sad thing is my kids don't seem to care or miss them.

hope things get better jonesy......ninja
Thanks ninja...I hope so too
That is sad about your kids. I was raised without grandparents in my life because my grandparents were "worldly." It sucks not having grandparents. But in the case of your parents, your kids may be better off, given the cult mindset.

On Friday my eight year old son's school had Grandparents' day. The kids were to invite their grandparents to school for a children's performance and tour of their grandchild's classroom and then afterwards perhaps taking their child to lunch. I didn't even bother to tell my parents about it - they wouldn't gone and I didn't want my son to ask them just to get his heart broken. So I went to the performance and told my son afterwards what a good job he did. His sweet smile told me that he was glad I went. My parents don't appreciate what they are missing.

Dear Mrs. Jones,
Wanted to say hi, but this is too close to home emotionally to comment on.
Wishing and hoping the best.
Love,

Thank you CoCo
Joise,
Hang in there. I know it must be difficult. We're thinking of you.

mrsjones, check out journey-on's thread (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/175940/1/I-Am-Literally-Shaking). She's also having problems with her JW family (a sister, in this instance).
I'm glad you're protecting yourself and your family against JWs, even if it includes your parents. Trying to please everyone just doesn't work.
I appreciate that LWT.
Yeah Parakeet, you're so right. Trying to please someone by denying your true self is mentally taxing. It's actually been easier dealing with social services than it has been to deal with my parents.
Josie
