    Shania,

    Welcome, yes it can be a bit scary. And most of us have been through that. But the real scariness is within the organization. It is just not safe anymore, nor trustworthy or reliable.

    You'll go through some ups and downs, insecurities, fears, but the more determined you are, the safer you'll feel once you're out. The 'world' as they call it, is not what they make it. There are truer friends out there, that are often better friends than in the borg.

    One step at a time Shania,

    Welcome, Shania! Nice to have you join us, look forward to seeing you post.

    The nice thing about a support group is that the others have been to the same place and faced the same "demonz." As you look them in the eyeball you see they really aren't all that scary anymore, you begin to see that they are all stories they tell the kiddies to make them mind. Its wonderful to examine all of our fears with an open mind, logic, and an open heart. Healing and moving on and living a happy free life is the ultimate reward.
