sooo true Amber. You do have to allow yourself to grieve...especially if you lost your whole family.

@herdarkness...I do hope you go to counselling...you have to find the right counsellor....the one that understands that JW's are a vindictive cult. I had to go through 3 counsellors before I found the right one. And she was a god sent!!

And the mentally "raped" part...I agree with you. That is why you need to start from the bottom and build yourself a good foundation. YOUR foundation...not what a cult tells you to do. You will much more confident and nothing would get in your way of fulfilling your dreams.
