I am glad the board has helped you. Your story is so sad, but unfortunately not uncommon for those who have left the COC. Welcome to our site. We understand, and we care.

Welcome to the forum.

Some of them are blind, but more than a few are just plain mean spirited. Even our CoC friends - at least in thought - often feel obligated and under pressure to shun those who leave their group.

Welcome aboard! It is sad to hear how cruel people can be in the name of religion.
