Thank you for such engaging feedback. To answer your question on the impact on my religious faith is it broke many religious concepts that were not healthy or safe to have. Some beliefs were cultish and therefore not right for me. That did allow for me to redirect my faith into a more spiritual, broader perspective. One that honors human value and doesn’t box us in with laws, rules, conditional ways to earn worth. Could be it’s own article. Regarding leaving, the closest piece I have discussing escaping the abuser was in: Why I Ran For My Life, https://medium.com/invisible-illness/why-i-ran-for-my-life-665806d933dd

But I do plan to elaborate more.
