I do thank you all for your feedback!

Well, that is what your parents taught you to think. You have every right to express you own oppinions and feelings. Many of us seeker, have not been taught how to do that properly, that it is ok and if we have been hurt, then we should be able to express our hurt and what should happen is a discussion and a validation of the feelings should take place.
To be honest seeker, I have similar issues, I, like you often take the road of silence in order to just get along. It just isn't healthy to do that, I know that now. However, neither one of you have been taught how to express your feelings as you mentioned. That is not your fault. As you mentioned, your sister would not get away with that treatment to others in this New Chruch Group she has joined. That is why I made the suggestion to bring it to where she is supposed to be learning better behavior and relations with others. It is still an option, think about it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
