How did I deal with it? Well - You just have to keep on living, don't you? We didn't go in much for psychotherapy when I was a young woman. You just got on with things and muddled through as best you could.
I became a JW, as well. They were the first people who showed me warmth and affection - and they were strangers when I first met them. They did a lot for me, emotionally; gave me some confidence, gave me something to believe in, gave me some love.
The thing that people need most is love. It is the most important thing in our lives. A person who grows up feeling unloved is screwed up and unbalanced. That person will do anything to get love and approval; and if they fall into the wrong hands they can finish up in a helluva lot of trouble. I was lucky. I fell into good hands with the JW's. I wouldn't be who I am if they hadn't been there for me.
The rest of the healing I did for myself - with a few kicks in the butt from my children, to make sure I went the right way,lol!
