Just found this group tonight and it’s eye opening to read past stories. Finally a group of people who really understand!!
It was so hard to leave. I was 19 and I was so scared to tell my parents and that went as bad as you could imagine. Meeting with the elders after and being told I was going to hell if I didn’t come back. Them holding those imaginary papers over my head and me thinking I wouldn’t be able to go on with my life without them. I can’t believe how brainwashed I was and 22 years later I’m in such a better place.
I so wish I had a group like this to guide me through it all. I did it though! All on my own and I made it out just fine. Life is so much better on the other side.

Getting out on your own…with little or no helpfrom anyone and indeed even the threat of hell and damnation from church leaders… is SO tough! You have done well. So glad to know you’re in a good/better place. Perhaps you will find someone who also got out about the same time as you did or from the same church as you did and that is an even bigger comfort and awesome confirmation.
