Welcome to the board, Freetobeme and SilentPartner.
Free -- you've been through so much -- how you must appreciate your life and the freedom you have now. That's a great screen name, and I hope we'll hear more from you.
SilentPartner-- speak up and tell us about yourself!

Welcome Freetobeme and Silentpartner. I came to this board a few weeks ago and have learned and enjoyed it a lot.
My story Is different in some ways and the same in regards the loss and sadness etc.
Glad you're here and sure you will enjoy this board.
Free,
We've had very similar situations. My parents were abusive, and my father admitted to "one" time only sexual abuse. My parents became JW's when I was 2, and I was baptised when I was 13. Similar story from there on out, except my parents never moved to where 'the need was greater.' My father was an elder.
I've been shunned, of course, since I was DF'd, but I've never been happier. I too feel free for the first time in my life. I don't feel the overwhelming sadness and despair you're supposed to feel when you leave the org. I am happy.
Welcome Free
