Hey, everyone! I posted a few years ago after going through a really traumatic time "investigating" Mormonism. At the time, I was extremely codependent and easily swayed by their techniques. I haven't had contact with them for a long time, but I talked about it today with a friend. There are aspects of church in general that I miss. I miss having a place to meet people, and I recognize how I got molded into what other people wanted from a young age in my conservative Christian church.
Today, I remember how it affected me and how learning about Mormonism opened my eyes to my past and how much it hurt me. I attended my first CoDA meeting yesterday, and I'm trying to figure out who I actually am. That journey began when I reached out to all of you, and many of you told me that I could make the decision for myself. I know that the Mormon church/ cult hurt a lot of you, and many of you still feel the effects of that. Thank you for helping me and sharing your experiences. It still means a lot to me, even if I never got baptized or went through what you all did. I hope all of you are growing and recognize your worth. Thank you for helping me all those years ago. I can tell you that I was very lost, alone, and afraid, and I got out and feel better now. Once again, thank you.
