from Phoenixkidd Monday, November 15, 2004 - 18:49 (Agree/Disagree?) Hey man, I completely understand what your going through. I left when I was much older 22, and got to a point of desperation where I was willing to do anything just to get out of that cult. I was lucky to have my personal family to live with for a little while to get my feet off the ground. Feelings of loneliness to the point of suicide is very understandable. In my case, thinking of the past or trying to reconnect with other family members for support can be devastating. There are many people who in their early adulthood have to move away from the situation because of economic reasons such as farm kids in poor countries who find that their whole life has literally amounted to nothing much like us, and just have a pick up pieces and move on. Making friends outside of the cult and not ex-members are essential to your emotional health especially getting a good roomate to help avoid being alone. If you've been raised around a bunch of people such as in TF it might be very hard to live by yourself. Anyway enough preachin' I feel ya tho, and wish you luck, (reply to this comment)
