  Thanks, everyone.

  Took a mental health day and went to see my counselor. To make matters a little more complicated,

  I've recenty been diagnosed with bipolar and am adjusting to the meds. I was being treated for

  depression and anxiety for years to no avail.

  As for my mother, you are all right. I have been living the don't ask don't tell policy for years. I think

  my mother is freaking out because deep down she knows she's wrong. She blamed me for

  tearing the family apart, when really, it's the religion that has been doing it for years.

  I am taking it as it comes...still have a job and I made the dean's list again at university. My son

  is the best kid and my dog loves me even when I yell at her. :)

  I sure hope so.

  I had a conversation with my little sister, venting, and now I am the bad guy. I shouldn't have told her my feelings. I'm "stirring" things up. She said that I have lost friends over the years (what??). She hung up on me after I said I was going to have a panic attack. I have never stood up to her like that. I told her that just because I didn't agree with her religion that didn't make me a bad person. She wasn't having it.

  I need someone to talk to.

  ok my other thread was not totally what i was after.

  after thinking it through i was wondering if any of you have ever heard of someone being hurt by a householder in field service.. .

  like i mentioned in my latest thread about the sister who was murdered and then her death was blamed on her.. i know in the hall i grew up in there were many sex offenders living in the area.

  When I was little, around three, I remember a German Shepard tried to

  attack us. My mother picked me up just as the owner intervened. Thank Jah.

  Also, last night, while at my parents' house, my mother was like, "poor Sister

  So-and-so. She was bitten really bad by a CAT while in service and had to go

  to the doctor." Hmmm...killer cat?

  That happened to me as well with Mcafee. What I did was boot up in safe mode (hold the F7 key down while starting up)

  and I restored my computer to a previous date with system restore. This solved the problem for me.

  What a lovely soul. You are blessed. Your wife should realise how lucky she is. Most mothers would do just about anything for an email like this....

  first of all- a little history.

  my ex-wife a fanatic jw seems to be in a pissing match ( not of my choosing ) with me over trying to get my son back into the jw cult.

  he's 25, been out of the witnesses since 17 and he is very happy with his life .he has a great girlfriend, he enjoys gardening growing his own vegetables and he is a performing singer/guitarist now writing songs and performing in front of hundreds of people .

  Well, it sounds like your wife could write for the Watchtower!! Gag. Sorry, I know she's your wife and you love her and that, but you need to tell her to get a grip. My mother is the same. She spent and hour telling me how unhappy and uncontent I was and that I was just going to be some unhappy, malcontent, washed-up alcoholic by the time I was her age. (Of course, I was tempted to point out that by the time I was her age, Armegeddon would be here so I wouldn't be her age ever, according to her.) Then she told me that my full of BS older sister (who's decided to come back to the JWs for like the fifth time) is soooooo happy now, has LOTS of friends (apparently, I don't) is totally off her antidepressants and everything is all smiles, love and happiness now. I guess Jah takes care of chemical imbalances as well.
