I was close to so many, and yet when I left, I was absolutely abandoned. Well, I did get a few knocks on the door trying to get me to start coming to meetings again, but that was not what I needed. I needed to know that the human relationships were real and could exist to some extent outside the context of the lc. But I was wrong. I have been unable to even speak about this matter until now. Thank you for this forum. I could go on and on, but I will stop. May God have mercy on us all.
