I've found that breaking free from basically a church turned cult , that I'm still facing some emotional issues. I've been going to a great church for nearly 2 years now but I don't want to join it, in fact part of me never wants to join another church ever again. I do feel like being a part of a church is biblical and I want to do what's right, but it's just so hard to have faith the same things won't start happening eventually wherever I decide to join. I want to feel free to walk away without guilt. It took over 5 years to leave the place I'd been going over 20 years and it ended up feeling like a divorce except not a divorce from 1 person more like 100 people I cared about.

As you can tell I'm still not "over" what happened. I try not to dwell on it aND most days it's fine, but if I think on it I'm back to being an emotional mess, so I'm afraid I won't be much help to anyone else in the situation.

I went through this too and am still dealing.. long story. Emotional rollercoaster..

OP, rejected and unwanted all my life. Low esteem and no confidence only by default put me in the company of those who would add to my already wounded soul... I started counseling for a myriad of reasons.. They cover every area of my life. I have a wonderful child, that's all the positive I have besides the 3 in 1.. So much I've been through, I won't suffer eyes to read it.. Good post tho.. I'll rep for those who cant
