i understand your perspective Qcmbr but also understand why you can't understand a different narrative. Constitutional change lead by a Conservative Party with UKIP breathing down its neck is going to lead to a rocky road ahead, better buckle up!

The referendum didn't break the Union but it's clearly cracked. And curiously it appears that some English MPs are choosing to widen that crack.

Do you know where to find them? Both exits from Waverley Station, the north east corner of St Andrew Sq and sometimes Middle Meadow Walk. Have fun!

I'd agree that a good relationship with grandparents can be good for kids but a highly conditional relationship with grandparents who shun a parent doesn't sound... healthy. If you are going to police their relationship that is going to have a toll on you and you're well being as a parent is far more important than a relationship with grandparents.
half my grandparents died before I was born, it did me no damage: it's great for grandparents to see their grandchildren but I'm not convinced it's as important the other way (apologies for offending grandparents!).
Good luck navigating this, it's not easy, but look out for yourself.

Can I ask why you think the relationship between your daughter and her grandparents is so important?

Ha, ohiocowboy, my partner and I have been together 12 yrs this week too! Congratulations.
88JM I had an angry phase but it had to pass for the JWs to have been part of my life without defining my life. Lost my family and lifetime of friends but I'd do it all again just a bit earlier.

Christianity and the Parental Rejection of LGBT Youth
by scotsman inbeen a while since i've been on here and it's nice to see the lgbt topics still burn the brightest.. the ali forney centre support lgbt kids who are rejected by their religious parents and these videos will no doubt mirror the sad experiences of some of us gay jws..
