Trapped, I am about to get ready for bed (I have a baby and toddler at home, so it happens early, haha), but just want to say.. Thank you SO much for these thoughtful responses. I am going to read them and re-read them a few times once I get a chance.
You are saying things that I know must be true deep down, but I have NEVER gotten to hear them (well, read them I guess), from another person that was in the LC. This to me, 14 years after leaving LC life, is what I think is really necessary for mental healing to occur. Your words almost make me cry.
I really don't consider myself a weakling or anything, and have really come a long way as far as my self-esteem over the years.. but it still really helps to have someone empathize. You clearly have an understanding of what happened in this church. Again.. I thank you. And good night
