Trying to put a description on finally submitting my letter of DA [next week].
It is the only right thing to do - the safest thing to do for those I love and wish to protect - yet the years of attachment to that which I loved deeply make it difficult also. It is the only sane course of action, yet it brings relief and a sense of loss at the same time.
The above analogy seems to be the best fit to describe the odd emotions I am feeling [and didn't expect to feel].

Killing the dog also cures it. There must be many cords to cut, kind of like after neo took the blue pill.

This is a subject very close to my heart (for obvious reasons)....sounds kind of drastic, but then I don't want you to continue to suffer......hope it goes well for you!

That's a natural human reaction, abandoning an attitude that one is used to and feels familiar and safe with and striking out on a new road can create some turmoil. But of course leaving a destructive cultic organisation is the right way forward.
I know what you mean Jeff. It's strange to be finally walking away from something that you've been part of for so long, even though you know it's the right thing to do. Good luck.
By DA'ing you are leaving on your own terms, at least, rather than leaving them to force things upon you. You sound prepared for whatever fall-out occurs. Good luck.
