Katie, I am so sorry. Know that I am reaching out to you. Stay strong, you can do it.
ex-l, spot on. Your description of how it feels is just too true, and they still just give enough to keep you hanging on by a thread. (Or so they think). It is a power game and very effective. Something I don't think they would have thought up on their own initiative.
Katie, ex-l once said to me, "it is not getting the individual out of the cult, but getting the cult out of the individual". Nothing could be truer. I am just glad you were spared the added agony of the celibacy issue. It is a total rejection of who you are and what you have given. You are made to feel like you are the mistress and betraying his wife. (Once again thanks ex-l, so truly put) The sword is not lust, but the stabbing of your heart. It is enough to send you over the edge.
Mr Green, I am in Newcastle, east coast Oz. Once not too much of a problem, but in the last 5 months with the new centre head, lethal. There goes any pretense of who I am but I have nothing to hide and am not ashamed. The responsibility lies where it falls. I hope they read this and feel exposed.
Take care Katie, we are here.
