I haven't shunned anyone, nor (to the best of my knowledge) have I been shunned.

Are you feeling shunned right now?

Is someone close to you being shunned?

Re: "Have ye shunned only to be shunned?"

My husband has been shunned by his daughters for years. A few years ago, I determined that it’s not a punishment to be shunned by people who resort to shunning. In order for shunning to be effective, the target has to care. So I decided to look at the positive side of being ostracized, which was that we could live life on our own terms and enjoy the peace of not being lectured or judged.

Not long after I made that determination, one of my husband’s daughters decided to stop shunning. I won’t lie. That decision was very healing for me, even though I don’t have a relationship with her. I find myself a lot less angry and hateful, even though her sister is still estranged. Now, I realize that it’s her choice to speak to her father, or not. Choices have consequences, though. Hope she’s prepared.

Like I always say - nothing says "It is a cult" more than a good shunning!

I wish every religious nut would shun me.

Before i could be shunned i walked away. Knew i would be screwed from a survival standpoint if i did not make the first move.
