I’m not sure. Maybe 4 years? What I did was that I started to fix my life instead of just ranting about how horrible I had it because of the church. What was missing? I filled in those empty spaces. I don’t think anybody has an idea of how bad my siblings and I had it. When I tell stories, I can’t tell the whole thing because they might not believe it. So, I have quirks and phobias, traumas that still kind of haunt me, but there is so much more goodness in freedom that overpowers my past. I’ve learned to get out there and do what I want. Be happy. I am genuinely happy despite the annoying random appearances of my old self. Freedom from religion and from the things I kept from it fits better than hate and anger. I don’t want to waste my life dwelling.
