Yay you!

I would have no trouble being around many people from my former church, but there are some that would set me off a lot.

What continues to bother me a lot, though, is what you said in your title. It is indeed as if we never existed. All those people who "loved" us so much, who were our "family," and I have never heard a word from any of them. I've run into a few in various stores and places and it was pleasant/cordial, but NOBODY reached out to me.

Oh wait, I take that back. There were two older ladies from my home group who left me voice mails when we first left. One each. That's it. 19 years there and that's it.
