Anger was the only emotion I had for a long time that helped me survive I think. If it weren't for the anger, my own lack of self-esteem, depression & self-worthlessness would have taken over and I would no doubt be a suicide statistic.
What helped me get over it? To be honest, still in "recovery", so web sights like this have had a positive influence. The love of my hubby, who although cannot begin to comprehend my life, encourages me to seek whatever avenues I need to help myself.
Research & realizing I've lived in a "cult", that the basis of this religion was false helped. I realized I now have a "blank" page as far as my spirituality goes, whatever I do to fill that now is between me and God - and no other man. Whatever religions I "dabble" in will be to seek my relationship with God and study him - not a man made organization.
Knowing life is now "unpredetermined" has opened so many closed doors, I actually relish alot of things I never had (i.e. finishing school, helping my children develop normaly, etc. etc.).
