Re: Very personal vent......
After spending 15 years with a witness not celebrating the holidays before divorcing almost 10 years ago, I know where you are coming from...
Sounds like you have an excellent plan for helping others and keeping your perspective on what the season truly means...
If sharing experiences of being isolated from others after a divorce from that religion would help, feel free to contact me...
I was never an actual part of the religion, but while I was in the marraige, I would attend meetings, etc, and all of our friends were a part of it, so when the marraige ended, I like you, started from ground zero...
Take heart that it really does only get better...especially when you have your head on straight like it seems you do and if you keep yourself away from bitterness as it sounds like you are since you aren't interested in bashing anyone...
Stay strong...
