    Hi folks

    Been a lurker since the H2O days. Posted once or twice under another usename but I forgot it . . it was locutus something.

    I have gained alot from the forum and the people here, more from some and less from others

    Anyway, a bit about me, condensed version: I was raised in the lie since about 5 or so. I am 53 now. Spent about 35 years total in. Left when I divorced my first spouse in '83. Married a wonderful "worldly" lady I met in Boston. Moved to Central NY in 1990, started studying/attending again, WTF was I thinking . . I was having issues and it seemed like a familiar place . . Left for good back in '96 and haven't looked back.

    Since then I have attained a BSEE (summa cum Laude) and am working on an MS Applied mathematics. Mrs Locutus is graduating in 3 weeks with a BS Professional and Technical Communications.

    Contrary to what I was always taught, and thought for most of those years . . there is life outside the fortress and there are many wonderful, loving, careing and unselfish people outside those hateful, deceit filled walls. My wonderful spouse in one of them.

    Looking forward to telling my story and contributing in a positive manner here!!

    Peace, and love to all of you

    Hi Locutus, and welcome to the forum

    I was raised in the lie since about 5 or so.

    A man after my own heart I see, I've referred to it as the lie for years.

    I'm guessing I fall into the latter category there! But WELCOME on board! Good to have you here - god knows we need more academics to keep the brainy ones stimulated!
