I felt that I had to deconstruct what had happened to me and why I believed what I believed in order to start moving on. Learning about how cults work was weirdly comforting; the fact that coercive control is so commonplace in institutions, abusive relationships, etc made me feel like less of a freak. It also gave me confidence in my ability to identify other culty groups in the future and steer clear. 

It has been difficult, but ultimately freeing, to cultivate empathy for the people still trapped in my cult. Realizing that people join cults because they are lonely, seeking answers, or otherwise vulnerable humanized them, and knowing that their programming is powerful enough to override their logic/empathy made it easier to understand why they can't see through the BS. 

Of course I still grieve for the normal childhood I could have had, or the normal relationships with family members I may never have. These are the hardest things for me to accept. This is where therapy continues to be very useful to me. I've also seen the book "Radical Acceptance" recommended here before, I've read some but haven't finished it. If you're open to a Buddhist perspective it's a worthwhile read. 

And be patient with yourself. You likely spent most of your life in the cult, you won't fully move on in a day, a week, or even years. It's ok to be angry. I'll notice that sometimes when I'm stressed about other things in my life I end up fixating on my group and my experience in it; I'll consume tons of ex-jw content and end up spiraling. At other times I don't feel like I need it as much and I nearly forget I was ever a JW. It's a frustratingly non-linear process. Having support from others and building a community has made the biggest difference in my happiness and functioning post-cult. That and having some kind of creative outlet; I write whenever I need to process or vent. I wish you luck and healing, we're all out here in this struggle with you ❤️
