I agree with you porceleindoll! I certainly believe and know that people heal at different stages and all have a right to their anger and to heal at whatever rate/way they need to. I appreciate your response and consideration in doing so. Berg was actually a very intelligent person, maybe an idiot-savant, emphasis on IDIOT. I am glad that all my kids are out. It was hard getting started without support. From the age of 18 until 30 I was in, left with 3 kids, never held a job, did not get further education. My kids missed formal schooling and jumped in at their grade levels without the benefit of school. They all dropped out in the 9th grade. They got into all kinds of stuff, but all ended up getting GEDs and later scholarships and grants and becoming highly educated and industrious in the areas of their choice. One is a registered nurse, studying law, with certifications in many specialties, another is an artist/designer (fine arts and interiors), and the other is a senior designer with a company in Texas. He was in L.A., graduated from Otis. (Design/Arts University). One thing that the family always threatened was that horrible things would happen to your kids if you left. ( and/or to you). And that parents would be responsible for the downfall of their kids especially leaving and returning to America. Well, that curse has been broken! I remember when I left on impulse. I was on the plane, and really believed it would possibly crash because I was leaving the family! I also believed that a hurricane that hit shortly after I left was God trying to kill us as a consequence of leaving! Now that is fu*ked up, but that is how I thought. I am well past that now. I would not imagine that everyone's healing follows the same route. And anger is definitely part of the process. Thank you again for your response. It does give me a more clear understanding. This is all pretty new to me,(ex-family sites) though I have been out of the family for a long time now.
