Thanks, Acheick: And I believe that is true for most of who have left, and many who have stayed in. Whereas, being imperfect there are certainly times I have done things that looking back or even then I felt bad about, I am not in that sense a guiltless victim, but with regard to the family, I think all recovering from it have been victimized sooo much that they primarily need to build a positive self esteem in order to forgive themselves of anything they have done, unload a lot of guilt they carry which is NOT theirs, and then ask foregiveness or take accountability for what was or is with others. This is why I am glad I was never a big leader or anything. I would have so much more to deal with in some ways. I just want to see those who were hurt so much and want help (ALL of us) getting it! Whatever stage a person joined, including now, I think we were all presented with a pretty package, or that pretty apple unaware of the poison inside. I am glad for the place to discuss this.
