I sometimes think my journey in the family was like entering a relatively dense and hilly forested area. The inhabitants had many strange customs and I was gradually assimilated by them. After awhile I began to suspect that the land was weird. I went for a walk one day and walked right out of the land. The further away I got from it the clearer it became to me that the forest was infected with parasites, the food was not adequate and the people worshipped a strange God that was much like the Worlock's God on that old HG Wells movie The Time Machine. Our brains were wired with Berg's lies and it takes each of us time to deprogram ourselves. Some of our beliefs in the family took years to develop and the interior responses we have to these values take time to dismantle. For me a key point was realizing with total clarity in my heart that Mo was a false shepherd and prophet and actually had no power over my life. Then came the intense work of recovering from all the programing. It gets better over time I feel.
