TW, CW: Suicide, abuse, narcissism, cults
This is part 2 of my story of living and leaving a single family cult. In this episode, I dive into my preteen and teenage years where I experienced crippling depression and anxiety, the growing realization that my experience wasn’t “normal” but not having any language or support around being able to explore this.
These years form the foundation on which I would later build myself up to get to the point of leaving my family due to the abuse I experienced. As much as there are many things that start to pile onto my “shelf”, there are glimmers of peace and happy that I receive that give me the strength to leave later on.
