Thanks for sharing your story with us. Congratulations on breaking your way out! That takes guts when you've been so heavily invested.
I hope things continue to work out well for you.

When you get around to penning your greater reconversion opus I hope you'll tell us what you liked best about life as a catholic as well as the many parts that drove you away.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome, and specifically in regards to those who I quoted who asked for my larger story. I've just posted it in the convert section, it's long, but I'd wager you'll learn even more about the sheer negative power religious belief can have over your life, especially Catholicism in this case.
