How's it going?
I'm Jayna, and just beginning the "refugee from my parents craziness" part of my life. ATI/IBLP, Quiverfull, Vision To Train Up a Child, plus all the usual accompanying extreme right-wing conspiracy theories.
I'm 21 and just now starting to see that the way I was raised was nowhere near normal, and certainly not healthy. I've spent too many years blaming myself for all my shame, depression, self-loathing, and guilt, when I couldn't see that it was the abuse, extreme isolation, and life-sucking religion I was raised in. Trying to get away from all that now-- haven't figured out just how, but some friends over at Jezebel pointed me this way for a little guidance.
