Hi, Jo here, going back to my ancient handle to avoid future Jo v. JoJo confusion. ;)
Just wanted to say I appreciated reading your comments. I think that this continued fear tactic about storms and political events all centering around the family and causing fammems to stay in because of loosely associated dreams and dead dad speaking was around from the beginning. What a horror it has to be to live with God the hitman 24/7. Add to that dead dad, a host of demons with nefarious names concocted from the bottom of a bad bottle of Vandari wine, then add jesus (whose last name we do not know) always agreeing with "Mama" and dead dad as if on conference call, add magical thinking at it's worst with the keys as well as the storms et al centering around the family...
All I can say is no wonder there are so many people dying, leaving, or staying in, afraid to leave the ball and chain. (I think it is Maria that is the ball and peter who is the chain because he doesn't seem to have any balls..)
All those loosely connected "prophesies" from Berg to current events with dead Berg's supposed commentary, any catastrophe that happens or bad news becomes part of being outside of the safety zone of being in the family.
Considering when you got away from the family, what was the process you and your family went through with sorting out all that garbage? I am really glad you made it out and that you are posting at exer boards because it helps to have a continuum of perspectives from people leaving and how they adjust on the outside. Are you ever triggered by current events? I was thinking along the lines of emotions. When I left there were no on-line communities and I didn't discover them until well after they had started. About 8 or nine mos after I left I remember Hurricane Alicia coming for the Gulf Coast and I was sure it was somehow my fault and I had put my children in this danger and maybe God was going to take us away because I had left the family. I wasn't even in contact with them then, but had no support and no therapy or exer connections to work these things out.
