Hey ISeeCrazyPeople,
Did you ever get into the Facebook group? I believe it is intended to be for younger (i.e., millennials), less-religous ex-LC people. PM me if you didn't and are still interested.
I'm also a female LC kid, who left in my early 20s as well. Everything you are saying about how you felt in the LCs rings very true to me. I'm not sure how much that helps; I just wanted to add another voice to validate your struggles. I also read this "Why is this conversation even happening on my initial post where I went out on a limb, made myself uncomfortable, and poured my heart out? I was expecting even a tiny bit of empathy. Maybe a former LC sister will respond one day..
I really don't mind that much. Just a little." pretty early in the thread, and my heart went out to you! You deserve empathy. It seems you've gotten helpful responses since then, but as a former LC sister, I thought I should respond as well
