Dear Natasha,
P.S. When I told my son you were moving he smiled but his eyes glazed over. He turned away and tried to hide the fact that he had to take his glasses off to wipe his eyes. I imagine he’s upset because he remembers the two times, at the beginning when you allowed him to come over and play baseball with your kids, and because he’ll miss watching them have fun while pretending to ignore him for your sake, surreptitiously waving to him when you weren’t looking. I wonder if your kids wonder why they didn’t get to say goodbye to him.
I hope your kids rebel so bad…

That’s sad…why people behave this way? I hope they rebel too!

It takes all kinds. I’m just glad that one won’t be living in my back yard for much longer.

I keep telling myself that she’ll figure it out one day when she has no friends (because no one could live up to her idea of what is good and right in the world) and her kids see the light and tell her to go to hell.

I’ve met people from families like that. They’re either full into the kool-aid or rebelled to the point of self-destruction.

I hope it doesn’t go that far. I truly feel sorry for her kids. They don’t deserve either end of spectrum – somewhere in the middle is just fine.

I agree. Though, it might take some time for them to get there.

So sad. And wrong. Why do people teach their children intolerance? And why does it so often have to come under the pretense of being a good ‘god lover’? Her fear has turned her into a monster and because she can’t admit that, she overcompensates by projecting that fear on to her own kids. You know that whoever is at the top of her religion is just facepalming while saying, “You idiots. Don’t do this in my name. This isn’t love. This isn’t ‘love they brother’. This is fear and ignorance.”
I love your baby. He’s be welcome in my home any day.

Thank you my dear. I’m sure he’d love to see you again and that he’d absolutely adore you now that he’s old enough to interact with you. 🙂
When I said I hope her kids rebel it’s not just to shut her up, it would be the best thing for them. I pity them and their sheltered life.
