Hello! I wanted to introduce myself. Like many of you I was born-in, am married with one child. After 36 years of this cycle: doubts-thought stopping- suppression- indoctrination-cult mode I realised enough was enough. Luckily for me we have 'walked away' as a family. I wanted to say hello and thank you to all of you for the courage you have inspired within me (through your posts) to dramatically change my life for the better, and give my daughter a cult free future!
Hello to everybody!

How long have you all been out?
Hey naazira, its been 6 months. Was hard at first, upsetting relatives, parents, it hurt mom that her beloved granddaughter would no longer be at meetings etc. Leaving the bubble of security was hard as you all know. Accepting the reality of human mortality. But the mental freedom and relief then kicked in and its all good now.

Pleased to meet you, John and family. I am relieved for your child as she will have some happy days and hopefully you can celebrate the day she was born.
