KC,
It was not $400 a month. It was an additional $400 for the year for the full use of the school.
I am paying only $120 a month. The style is Hapkido. I am there just for the technique. It is definetly not a cult.
It's my ex and my family that thinks all martial arts schools are cults because of my past with the moo.
Yes, I did practice at home. Of course I did just like I did in the past. No obsessions just a simple 1 hour and and half routine. Nothing special. Just practicing tech. and stretching. Hardly any forms.
So you can see it's not me. It's the impression of the moo of the past. My family is just closed minded and worried for me. I guess I am just tired of trying to prove them wrong. This has been going on for the past 3 months. I just lost my cool. The biggest problem is they don't trust me which leaves me with no other choice but to exclude them from my life for awhile.
I am not going to quit practicing. It's bad enough that I didn't go to the school for the past 2 months to try and prove to them that they will not hound me like the moo did. And of course they didn't. My instructors totally understand what is going on with my family. I am just glad I can go back in November and continue my education on the technique of Hapkido.
My older brother came to me today to try and talk to me but the word cult came out of his mouth. The problem there was he started to physically push me around which is unacceptable to me. I had to shut him down hard. It's very sad. But, I am sure he will remember that for at least a week or two. I hurt him pretty bad. And that behavior from me is totally unacceptable as well.
This has been the most difficult moo related situation that has ever occured. I am exhuasted. And frankly I don't even care if the moos continue to mess with others or if they just dissapear forever. I am also going to have to disscontinue any moo related conversations for awhile. Such conversations could bring up some more unacceptable behaviors on my part.
It's a shame that I don't know some of you guys personally because I could have used your support on this situation.
I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
P.S.
Please forgive me for my behavior on the orginal post that started this string.
