Yeah...

(I added a bit more to after you replied)

I am fairly sure that my brother's actually schizophrenic girlfriend came out of the FLDS cult, and may have actually personally met/known that guy from it who just got convicted.

In a way, I'm glad all of this happened, in the sense that my family probably thinks I am dead, and I will now never have to deal with any of their insane bullshit ever again.

... though it would have been nice if I did not have to nearly die every other day for about a year to achieve this, lol.

Yes, grab on to those silver linings. Little compensation I know, but you're now much tougher. Little in life could faze you. I know from my situation and the horrified looks people give me when I explain my early life. Then I see the same people struggle with things I consider trivial.

Yeah, this entire thing has finally endowed me with self respect, and that perspective shift you talk about.

Always had impostor syndrome before.

That's gone now, haha.
