The Family cult stunted my growth mentally, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.
These boards, this community, has given me a lot of support in becoming a little bit less of a kid, and a little bit more responsible to myself and to the people in society around me.
I still need something spiritual which is present from one moment to the next. Living in the moment is something I try to practice, not always successfully, because sometimes I still worry about what tomorrow holds, and I have thoughts of regret about the past that come to mind to plague me from time to time. Thankfully it’s getting better because I do something day to day to make my self a little bit better of a person. I’ve become a firm believer in character building, self help, good living. All of this is what growing up is about. This in turn makes me more of positive influence in the lives of the people I’m in contact with day in and day out.
That’s why I’m in 100% agreement with the recent cleanup action taken here on these boards to make them a more responsible place from my own and other’s recovery from the cult that handicapped me for so long. This challenge to be responsible here will only serve to help me to continue to grow.
