We won't tell my hubby till he has already met your hubby. I think the "tension" would be fun though!! My husband's dad looks almost exactley like Duke's couch! People will stare at him and he has to just say.."No, I am not" Your hubby should get a picture with him for fun!

I am looking forward to it!!!!! DO you think we can cause some drama on this board by posting that we are drunk AGAIN...having a "shite for parents fest"!! LOL!! I can drink some beer! My husband is going to love being around so many Tar Heels...I may have to get into it myself!

Edit: My husbands start date is July 1 st...but if we can be there sooner, he can start sooner. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I completely understand and I am sorry you are hurting. When it is all said and done, it is their loss.

I had been trying for a time to not "shun" my mother back...I would leave messages about the baby, ect. I got NO response. Finally, I have given up the "fight" and if she ever comes to her senses, that is when I will show her I am Christian....by not holding it all against her. (Though I never see it happening)

You mentioned 3 wonderfull kids. They are your future and your present.

You have to think a-lot differently when you no longer feel like you "know" more than anyone else in the "world" knows. You have as much of a life than all of us do. It takes time to find your place...but, it does happen. On average, it takes 7 years to free yourself from a cult like mentality. That was true in my case. You can speed it up though by continueing to research things to find WHAT you believe.

The big thing that sunk in and changed my outlook was it is not about a certain belief system or religion....It is YOUR PERSONAL relationship with God and how it can affect your life.

Do not give up....many of us are where your at or have been there...or go back there every now and then.

I just read your previous posts and it sounds like you deal with things a-lot of us do. It is really hard to lose family members. (I even LEFT MY DAUGHTER back in that religion (Long story)) I feel like you do, I don't want to hate...I want to have peace in my heart and beloving towards people.

The one thing I HAD to do though is some councling. I really didn't think I needed it, but when I found out what I felt was NORMAL for someone who exits a cult, it made me feel a-lot better about myself. (I still have my moments...but less of them)

Also, I had to go on anti-depressants for awhile....to help me stay sane. Nothing wrong with that either.

What do you need us to do for you right now? Just listen or more?
