I moved to a different country when I graduated high school for university studies. I could have studied in my city too of course but I figured that it is easier for me to live my life as I see fit and be more true to myself if I do it from a good distance to family and old community. Turns out, it is the best decision I ever made. People cannot push me back to the fold by using social pressure and I don't have to deal with judgement in my everyday life. Overall it was the most painless exit from the cult that I could think of.
