Siegwife...it's amazing how damaging leaving the organization can be to one's psyche....I'm still confused and it's been 4 years since I left.

Angst,
I feel exactly the way you do---it's been a few years and the strings are still pulled tight, but just love people more, and be patient with yourself....i think we all look for another organization to belong to, because I think it is wonderful to belong to something to someone-it's a lot like being in love. But, if the relationship doesn't work out, at the time of the breakup, it seems like a whole life is lost; but that is extremist thinking-just like thinking that you are evil or bad because you are missing that brotherhood. Just remember, there is another brotherhood, one without judgement or hatred. And it begins on your terms, in any way you choose. I'm just a newbie, but I think that everything's gonna be fine (I say this for you just as much as for me), and that we'll be able to go on living, and not be afraid of the future.
