  Grieving for the Living

  i originally wrote this blog a few years ago, but yesterday a friend that is struggling to decide whether or not she will tell her family that she no longer accepts the jehovahs witness religious doctrine reminded me of it so i am re-sharing (with updates).. its not always completely freeing to come out of the closet (as an atheist in my case) and i wanted her to understand that.. i had a very strange realization recently: i dont know what its like to be someones adult child.

  my parents didnt get the privilege of seeing me come of age.

  i didnt get walked down the aisle when i got married.

  Biological V. Logical Family

  "sunday was mothers day, one of the worst days of the year for me emotionally, and not because my mother has died (although i still grieve for her).

  my biological family disowned me because i rejected the religion that they chose for me at birth.

  when i talk about this with others, especially those that havent been through it, they usually say, get over them.

  here is a letter to my estranged mother: "mama, i'd like to introduce myself" .

  hi mama, im bridget gaudette, your 34-year-old daughter.

  When parents disown their teenaged or young adult children, they miss out on seeing them mature.
