Thank you for welcoming me.
I was wondering whether anyone would reply to my post and was waiting with abated breath and some trepidation. I thought that I might have written too much, but I now see there was no need for fear.
I will definitely look for the book you mention. I'm always interested in anything that might shed more light on TF experience.
Maybe you have already seen these or discussed them on this site. They showed me, how easily manipulated we can be.
I do remember some of those letters, especially the cruel, unloving, and uncaring ones. I thought I was the only one cringing on the inside, but right after that, feeling guilty for "doubting". LOL
I'm glad you found a therapist who was able to help. I've been thinking about contacting one myself, but I'm still not certain about that. I'm not sure that anyone who hasn't experienced it can possibly understand, much less help. Or maybe I'm afraid that I'll be encouraged to take the responsibility for joining in the first place. I think that would make me angry as I honestly don't think I knew what I was getting into.
Thank you for listening and for not judging.
Wishing you all the best.
