  Poor elders wives are often under so much pressure to set an example, be on time for field service, have their husbands suits perfectly clean, wait in the car after meetings with tired cranky kids when he's busy with spiritual matters must not complain and on it goes.............my husband is now able to give his undivided attention to our children as a person..granted post cult a person still formulating ideas but still an authentic man.

  My husband left before me but remained a good, loyal and loving friend and he says would have still stayed had I remained firmly entrenched as a 3 rd gen witness. Being the spiritual head of the family didnt make my husband a better man. In reality the GB are the real dictators of the family and rule with an iron fist , Nice to have them out of our life and bedroom now. Leaving and becoming his own man did. Last I checked doesn't seem to be demonized (big fear) and we still have a good moral code and ethics.

  Agree with Lostgeneration and reccomend that you have a look at.........http://www.babcp.com/Review/RTS-Trauma-from-Leaving-Religion.aspx

  Have 4 children married 27 yrs am still a little disoriented at times. Takes awhile to learn new skills learn new things? join a book group? and let go the fear its paralizing......remember there are alot of us survivors...... places like this forum are a good place to do some healthy venting and laughing

  On shunning

  here is something interesting that pertains to the action of shunning.

  the book called extreme was written by psychologists.. 1.

  Dr. Marlene Winnell writes in article 3 on Religious Trauma Syndrome that A religious counselor will redirect a client back to the religion, typically with biblical guidelines to repent and become more devout. The client suffering with RTS is then likely to try harder to meet the impossible demands of the religion, much like returning to a situation of domestic violence. They will do this because of the authoritarian nature of such counseling, but fail again and feel hopeless or evil or crazy. No one concludes that it is the religion itself, which is at fault. (And religious counselors often have very little training in psychology while getting exempted from standard licensing requirements.) http://www.babcp.com/Review/RTS-Trauma-from-Leaving-Religion.aspx
