    Hello, new guy here. I am really not sure what to write. I signed up a week ago or so, but havn't had the nerve to post. Why tonight? I don't know. A little background. Born into the program but didn't stay long. We(siblings) were fortunate that we had two caring, self thinking parents that left the system. I was about 13. I never was too involed in things or remember a lot,but I know it affected how I have lived my life and who I am. Thanks to all for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I look forward to adding mine.(If I get the nerve)

    Hi Seahart -

    It's kind of shocking, isn't it? Those dub thoughts sink down so deep. Your post is disturbing to me. You've been out since 13. I imagine you were allowed to have a reasonably normal teenage life. 20+ years later, somethings are still unsettled (??). Am I reading you right?

    It saddens me because although I've been 'out' for 13+ years, I was still a quasi-believer. Just learned the truth about 'the truth' Oct/Nov 04. I think my chances of 'normal' are pretty slim.

    *sigh*

    But, hey!! Nice to have you along. This is really a nice board. Tons of information to be shared.

    I look forward to knowing more about you.

    Welcome!!

    -Aude.
