Max, I am really, really sorry that the sexual abuse happened to you!I am glad you tried as best as possible to cope with those awful events, tried to have a new, better life.By the way I am German, male, 48 years old & was in TF as livein-member until 1989, we stopped tithing 92...although I have eyewitnessed, so to speak, FFing & the related problems, sins & heartaches, I haven't understood then, how much more evil TF exploited it's children,whom I always considered really as God's gifts...much has been already debated about that & I am even a latecomer to these boards...since about 7 month I participate...it has been pointed out, mainly by the SGAs, that even if very many FGAs didn't eyewitness the horrors towards the children or heard about them, much less participated personally in them, they nevertheless failed to do something in time, as the possible or actual horrors were already described in many letters & few seemed to have protested against it.I want to apologize to you & others at this point, for not having spoken up at the right time...much has also been reasoned here about the whys...how come, we FGAs were apparently so blind & deaf...
May be it helps you to hear & read both sides...
there are many sections at movingon, which cover that subject...here is one section, you'd surely can identify with, sad to say:
