I grew up in Victoria and went to congregations in Dandenong and Ocean Grove. I left shortly after being baptized. That was about 40 years ago.
Since then I've been lucky enough to have lived in Adelaide, Hobart and Perth. Mostly Perth where I am now.
I am so happy that there is now a lot of support for those wanting to leave or who have been dfd. I never knew such loneliness as when I left home as a teenager feeling I had no choice.
