It surprised me when I heard (of all people) the late princess diana, she said her life in the royal family resulted in the deconstruction of her personality and her self-esteem cut in half. I thought what an accurate description of what my JW parents sought to do in my case. The person is left with nothing and you feel trapped in your situation. I feel a lot of JW children are also trapped in a JW home, isolated from real people, association, activities, sports, and prevented from simply enjoying being young.
