Hi, I finally created an account, although I have been lurking (here and on JWD) for about 2 years. I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I wasn't able to fade as gracefully as some here have been able to do, so I lost all of my JW friends and family. I haven't had a conversation with my parents (or siblings) in over a year.
It's not all bad though, I have a lot less anxiety than I used to and am developing a self confidence that I never had before. I have great relationships with all of my "worldly" relatives now that I am out and I enjoy the freedom to live my life as I please. :) I've also met my hubby and we have a lot of fun together. So there's a lot more good than bad.
I could go on forever, but that's a good summary for starters. I'm here to make some new friends, learn, share stories and give/take support.
How about you?
BF
