Yeah...
(I added a bit more to after you replied)
I am fairly sure that my brother's actually schizophrenic girlfriend came out of the FLDS cult, and may have actually personally met/known that guy from it who just got convicted.
In a way, I'm glad all of this happened, in the sense that my family probably thinks I am dead, and I will now never have to deal with any of their insane bullshit ever again.
... though it would have been nice if I did not have to nearly die every other day for about a year to achieve this, lol.
Yes, grab on to those silver linings. Little compensation I know, but you're now much tougher. Little in life could faze you. I know from my situation and the horrified looks people give me when I explain my early life. Then I see the same people struggle with things I consider trivial.
Yeah, this entire thing has finally endowed me with self respect, and that perspective shift you talk about.
Always had impostor syndrome before.
That's gone now, haha.
