Getting Through : Dealing
Sisters and Brothers | from mimi - Friday, November 28, 2003
accessed 1371 times I have virtually no memory on my own account. I love my sisters and brothers, I would not know what my life would be like without them. I chose to forget or not have memories of the unpleasant past that most call a childhood. I would love to know that others in my past have happy and fulfilling lives. I have chosen to view our traveling as an "experience" and that my parents knew only what told.
I realize this sounds naive and I would like to know if others view their lives now as happy but are still confused about the past as I am. I love the fact that I can see my life as happy now and that a part of that happiness comes from questioning and wondering what others lives were like. Denial is a gift for which I thank the God that I chose to believe in, a God that lets me forget the bad and remember the good. I am grateful for a site that lets "us" forget or remember what makes us, us. |

I would have to say I'm happy with my life. It has its ups and downs, the first 1-1/2 years after leaving were the hardest, sorting out the ensuing confusion, questions, anger... but I have pretty much come out of it and am starting to put it in its right places and get past it. Things like the recent publications, debates with present Family members etc.. make me upset, esp. the minimizing of our experiences in the group, and the belief that we are just being bitter and need to get over it, but it also makes me realise how out of the know Maria really is, or how much she is choosing to ignore, maybe cause of her own guilt and involvement, ignorance is bliss?
Time really helps, so does talking things out and getting support from friends, family and people who are in the same place or have gone through the same as you. Hope you make a full recovery and have a beautiful life.

Hey Porcelainedoll ,contrary to what they preach putting us down is really the only way Maria and her crew have to keep her flock together,it really shows you what kind of true sheperd are Fam.leaders.
Why don't they truly apologise from their heart if they are so interrested at winning more souls for the kingdom ?
Because they don't really give a damn about anything that's not on their agenda ,"Blinds leading the blinds"
I wish Fam.members could be free from fears and start thinking on their own for a change.

It gets better with time Mimi, as the past comprizes a smaller segment of the life we chose to live, so too does it's hold over us diminish.
