Hi there y'all!!!
Loved your responses. Great sense of humor here.
What has helped me cope the most with is that I've found like-minded individuals and hang mostly with them. We have a great time together, and at the same time know that because deep generational ties to this religious organization and the fact that most of our loved ones are in it we really can't do much but hang around ourselves.
Don't you all worry, though, we the "trapped ones" inside can do alright under the situation.
Thanks so much!
