I really appreciate the Welcomes. Thank you all.
I want to clarify the "nuttiness" I refer to above: I get the craziest e-mails from my family. All referring to Armageddon, The Great Tribulation, etc. Some of the stuff in them would get them referred to a mental hospital. For lock up, not just treatment. I'm talking full out crazy talk. Tom Cruise would be proud.
I try to reason that they are in full control of a cult, yet, I just can't wrap my mind around how they can not only believe that stuff, but type it out and hit the send button.
I also get the phone calls. They say similar stuff. I hang up the phone and yell into a pillow.
So, when I come here and read stories like mine, I realize "I am not alone". That is good.
