    Hello Kelli,

    Welcome to the forum. I applaud you for being brave enough to tell your story. I've been here a couple of months, maybe more and haven't shared my story yet. It's so complicated and painful that it's hard to type it out. Discussing the JW experience with exjws and those who sympathize will further your healing.

    Kelli/Kggrl,

    Welcome to the forum. I too am cut off from my parents and old friends, and it took a while to get past it. This forum was a big help, for on here there are more understanding people than you can find anywhere else! We have a "worldwide brotherhood" here, just without all the rules and requirements.

    So come on board and join in the fray every so often. It sure is nice to have you and many other new folks jump in and help us know that the board continues to help folks old and new!

    Welcome Kelli, I am sorry to hear about the things that happened in your past. There are so many sad stories on this board,,,,,,,,they start sad,,,,,,but the endings are happy. So many have endured things that have made all of us cry,,,,,literally sitting at our computers and crying ,,knowing all too well the things that were allowed to be done to children.

    It is an honor to stand next to everyone on this forum for their strength and courage, in what they went thru, and for leaving the WT,,,,even as painful as it might have been.

    You will find true friends here, many who have had very similar things happen to them. You will always find a listening ear when you want to vent, or when you want to share the happy things.

    My daughter's name is Kelly,,,,,,,and it just tears me up to think of what you , Kelli went thru. You sound like a strong young woman. I am trying to raise my daughter to be a strong woman too,,,,,,,,,to never let anyone hurt her in any kind of way. The name Kelly, means Female Warrior......very fitting for both of you , I would say.
