Mike, I cannot imagine losing my mother like that. She was very Catholic and still did not reject me because I am gay. Even my Protestant rock and roll church friends told me they could never reject their children for being gay, or anything else.

Just know that it is not you who failed. Much love.

The fact that Scientology is able to do this is beyond cruel. Scientology says they are the most humanitarian religion yet they cause so much harm Tearing appart families. There’s nothing humanitarian about it. It is a different type of horrible.

Happy Mother’s Day
I have come to realize that Scientology is producing narcissistic people , unable to feel other’s pain or struggle.
When I lost my daughter to disconnection I was lucky enough to be able to fight and get her back . That drove my sister , a hard core believer , kind of crazy as she said with a straight face that the correct thing to do was to shut up and let the disconnection take place .
I was flabbergasted at her lack of understanding of the pain and despair involved , it was absolutely obvious to her that one has to accept disconnection , even though she has children .
Unable to feel . It was in fact all about her and how it would reflect on her that she couldn’t handle me.

I read Tony Ortegas blog today. Seeing all the people who lost their mother’s and childer because of Scientology shatterd my heart.

I recently watched one of the episodes of the Aftermath other than Mary’s episode that made me cry was the one where Leah’s sisters and mother and your wife were in. And I remember both you saying how you tried to go visit your mom so you could tell her that you loved her and so she could meet Christie but Scientology took her away. And I remember how Christie explained that she couldn’t see her mother because of Scientologys disconnection policy. And how they have never met your children.

I think that episode hit me the hardest because of that.

In reply to Lili R. Inside Scientology, it does not celebrate or acknowledge Mother’s Day. They pay lip servto the outside world. Ask a staff member if they are aware what holiday it is, they won’t know. The same holds true for most holidays.

Mike, on Mother’s Day, my heart always goes out to you. I remember your earlier thwarted attempts to visit your mother and then the later heartbreak of discovering she had died in 2013 because someone was brave enough to send you an email letting you know about it. I was at my mother’s bedside when she died. To be denied that simple privilege because you wanted a different life than the one you had been leading is unconscionable.

No “religion” has the right to rip families apart. I look forward to the day when this is more than a statement.

This kind of stuff that Scientology does always seems to hot me the hardest. Every time I hear about Scientology ripping a family apart my heart breaks. I have read and watched so many things about disconnection in Scientology and I can never get over it. It’s so sad and discusting that Scientology is able to do this. Sending love to all the people who have lost a mother or mothers who have lost their children because of Scientology.

Thank you Mike for honoring the mothers today and highlighting their heartbreaking stories.
That scientology promotes Mother’s Day is like Charles Manson hosting Sharon Tate Day.
More appropriate and never going to happen is their promo piece for Disconnection Day. A day to read LRH policies on why we don’t call Mom today because we’re big thetans, and she’s just a meat body and not our real mom.

I honestly think this is one of the most heartbreaking things that Scientology can do. I remember watching Mary Kahns episode on the aftermath and being so heart broken for her and her family. I felt the same way after reading your book and learning that Scientology kept you from seeing your mother but also knowing Christie lost her mother through Scientology too is just hard to think about how a humanitarian “religion” can break families apart and get away with it.
