I was raised in a cult called The Family that abused their children mentally, sexually and physically and a lot of the discipline is VERY familiar. You and I, Alison, are the exact same age and were going through these things at the same time. I have introduced this site to some of my peers from childhood and they also log on quite regularly.

When in high school I remember this era too well. I also remember the friend we had in high school who spent a whole summer being "reformed." She died on the day after high school, of a heart attack, as she stood at the top of the city hall stairs, just having gotten married. She had undiagnosed endocarditis from drinking water with bacteria in it during her summer from hell. Yes we read, and we remember. C Yes yes, we do still read, faithfully.

Your story, as I've said before, while so different than mine in its surroundings, so similar in what happened to you. To me. For me, it was a loss of innocence, but when I look through my child's eyes, I can regain that- if only for fleeting moments. Keep sharing your story. It must somehow bee cathartic for you.
