"Mormons Have My Child"

Mormons Have My Child - Link

To subscribe: go to the above URL. The list description:"Mormons H(ave) M(y) C(hild)" is a mutual support group for non-Mormon or ex-Mormon parents whose children (of any age) are Mormon, and whose relationships with those children are suffering because of the children's Mormonism. Because of the confidential and personal nature of the matters that are likely to be discussed, membership in the list is limited to those who are in that category, and to others who may be able to help them. All subscriptions must therefore have the approval of the list owner/moderator.  New as of July 2001.
