Yes, this forum has helped me a great deal.
I knew I wasn't alone, but I felt alone much of the time. I had no one to talk to that really understood what I've been through and all my experiences relating to the JW experience. This forum has fiven me that outlet. I can read posts and reply. I can post my own thought or question, and people respond (usually ) I can help someone now that is suffering because of being df'd, and all the heartache that accompanies the rejection and shunning by family and friends. I had to endure all of that totally alone.
This forum has been a real positive thing for me. I can give as well as take. That is why I appreciate all the work that Simon and his "helpers" do to keep it going, keep it a nice place to be.
I am thankful every day. So is my hubby. He tried to be helpful through our marriage but just couldn't understand it all. There was just no way he could, not having the JW experience, and not really knowing anything about them until we got together. He is so glad that I have "a place of comfort" now, as he felt so helpless for so long to help me up out of a very dark and desolate place.
Love and Light,
Karen
