Very good for you you got away Marcine. And saved yourself. Bravo!

Quote from: Marcine on December 24, 2025, 02:16:29 PMlove was compliance. Love was disdain. Love was bowing down and subjecting myself. Love was denying my truth. Love was never outshining them. Love was appearing small and weak. Love was being dependent on abusers.
And none of this was love, you knew that already but I just wanted to say it again.

Wishing you all the true and real LOVE in the world.

Sending you a hug  :hug: I hope to re-read what you wrote in your summary in the New year when I have maybe more capacity to process things - but for now, I wanted to say that I send you support.  :grouphug:

Hi Marcine,
I relate so much to things you wrote, and naming the 'family' as 'cult' - wow, I relate to that very much - that is something I have considered as well.

I am so glad that you've 'got free' and also that you're 'more alive than ever' - I am cheering you, if that is ok  :cheer:

Also sending you a hug of support  :hug:
