I think different people need different paths for their own healing. I've gotten on with my life, but enjoy coming to this site and reading and learning and trying to encourage people who are having a hard time after leaving the JWs.
I know what you mean about support groups though. I was encouraged to go to WEAVE meetings years ago when I divorced my first husband (or maybe I had to go to get help filing a restraining order I don't remember) he was controlling and abusive--but not to the point where he hit me because I left him before he got to that point. When I attended a couple of meetings, I was very overwhelmed by some of the ladies in the group because some of them were going through getting beatings and having their children beaten and I felt extremely depressed by it and couldn't handle having to hear their stories. I stopped going after the second meeting--but that doesn't mean that some people weren't getting a lot out of going to these group sessions because they needed it.
Then I was encouraged to join a support group for Al-Anon, because I seem to have issues with co-dependency. The same thing happened to me at these meetings as the WEAVE meetings, there were people who were dealing with very severe situations and it was very depressing, and since I wasn't with my alcoholic/pothead spouse anymore--I didn't see the point in going to these meetings.
