I think that making contact with others in the same situation is important. I remember when I left I elt alone, and especially in a small town, my only option I felt was to leave altogether. So now I'm on the opposite side of the country than my family. In the last couple years, I've found that even just reading stories on other websites, and I'm also new to this website, (which I think is fab, and a great place to vent) I've found quite a bit of "therapy" right in these pages. It's hard at first, but I imagine you already feel like that huge weight on your shoulders has been lifted off. I remember what that felt like, and that's the feeling of freedom baby, yeah!!!
The hardest thing for myself was coming to terms that this so-called truth is just another religion. When I came to that realization, it was very emotional. And you'll have emotional times too. Just remember that you're not alone, and you have the support of 1000's of other exjw's in this site as well as the 100's of other sites out there,(as well as in person too!!!)
Take care, and vent away when need be!!
