    How long had it been approximately since your daughter has talked with you

    Flipper I cant remember I think it is about 6 years. I posted when she came after
    the WT told them they could help their old parents after they had been hospitlized
    I was in the hospital with a heart attack. So my daughter that is out of the Wt called & told her.
    she came when I was home ,she was allowed to clean & change my curtains etc: we got along fine
    until I turned on the t.v & June Caldwell was sspeaking about the book "JIM"
    a story of a JW who had aiids.. It was exposing how cruel the WT had been to him.
    Then it became strained. But I am SO grateful today.I have been praying night & day for
    contact...So happy for you too Flipper. ((((HUGS)) to you ALL

    well I think its despicable that your daughter has ostracised you, - she has a christian duty to look after her mum.( and I am not impying that in the sense of 'looking after')

    my sister and I are out and we are discussing how we will take care of mums welfare if she wont really speak to us, but we decided we arent going to give her a choice - mums 65, and a young 65, - but her latest husband is terminally ill., we dont think he has a great deal of time left, Im sorry for mum but there is no love lost. we feel like he stole our mum. - and when she is left alone, she will need support. It bugs me that the cong will sweep in and take over.

    the biggest irony with my mum is tragically our brother died in 1983 when he was 19. this was the event that brought my mum 'in'- and yet she is happy to lose all her other kids along the way so she will see David again. - it saddens us.

    I am really glad your daughter spoke to you - I hope its the start of something. I love my mum and I wish we could get her back. she taught us to be strong and independent - but we outdid her and it backfired...
