    Welcome.

    So sorry about what you experienced as a child and I hope that therapy will help. I also hope that being her with us will help you to feel that you are not alone.

    It sounds like your blessings are many now, with two lovely children.

    Welcome Mummatron! Although reading about the first part of your life was very sad, I am glad that you are in a happy and stable relationship and have a better relationship with your dad. You might want to visit the Freedom of Mind Center website and read Steve Hassan's books, such as "Combatting Cult Mind Control" to increase the progess of your counseling. According to Steve Hassan, a therapist with knowledge/experience about mind control will be able to help someone who is suffering from phobias implanted by mind control.

    Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

    Awww, I'm touched by the lovely warm welcome. Ironically more of a welcome than I ever got at a KH! Nice to meet you all, I shall be sticking around.

    @jwfacts – Thank you so much! Your site has finally given me some closure and reaffirmed everything I thought but was too afraid to say.

    @Wobble – My Mum’s family are originally from your area so it’s possible you may have known my late Grandmother at some point.

    @bigmac – No I haven’t, but I sure will. Thanks for sharing the link.

    @keyser soze – I was initially curious as the article didn’t mention what denomination she was just that she refused to do them due to her religious beliefs. So I Googled and this is what I found: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/famous-jehovahs-witnesses.php

    @Mouthy – I love the IoW too. Such a beautiful, relaxing place, even the architecture is aesthetically pleasing.

    @ABibleStudent – Thanks for that suggestion. Have started reading some of Steve Hassan’s info online and am finding it very enlightening. I will suggest it to my psychologist when I get my appointment.

    @Pams Girl – I’ve sent you a PM. J
