Hey Ex-C community!
I'm a pk from the Bible Belt and deconverted about 6 years ago. Somewhat new here and super excited to get involved!
When I first left, there were so many problems I had to work through. Guilt for disappointing people I loved, anger at my family, confusion over life's meaning, and allllllllll the sexual shame and dysfunction of a puritanical upbringing. Suffice to say, it took years of therapy for me to work through some of this stuff, and a lot of it's ongoing.
But looking back, I feel like some of this was a lot harder than it needed to
