'm glad you are finding help here. Yes, I did the exact same thing. I tried to bury my past. The feeling was so strange, I felt like I had woken
up from a bad dream. After about 6 years of that I found that I wasn't getting anywhere. My past kept meeting me, the pain kept meeting me
everytime I turned around. That's when I went to the net to look for other exmembers like me that I could talk to. And I found them to my
delight! I first found Miriam's site - excognet and then LoLo's site. I found Karen, LoLo, Marina, Outsider, Cheryl, SSam, Charlie, Peter, Miguel, Micron, Mekka, and a whole bunch more of really, really nice people that walked me through so much of what I was going through but could never tell anybody. and yes, I told them how much my faith had been hurt and how far away from God I felt. I think places like this are necessary, even if just for a time, to help us meet our pain and deal with it. Welcome.
