(((((((((Karen)))))))))
I am so very sorry you are going thru this. I was once naive enough to do the same thing to 2 of my brothers. I am inactive not da'd or df'd but my mother and a 3rd brother see me as if I am. My mother even laid things on the line with my daughter without someone their to intervene. My daughter is only 16, was never baptized and has known for at least a year or so that she does not want to be a jw. My daughter was absolutely crushed by the way her own grandmother treated her. My daughter is her namesake. Karen, sometimes I think that emotional abuse is harder to take then physical abuse, because the physical pain eventually goes away, butt the emotional abuse is harder to understand and deal with. My heart goes out to you.
