In peeling the layers back on the onion of co-dependency, I was afflicted with an over sense of responsibility at 8 years old. I had an older sister who was supposed to watch me but instead I got stuck baby sitting her two babies alone while she would disappear for hours. Being forced to become an adult when I was a child became a magnet to become enmeshed with the cult. Their system is based on being obligated under oaths, penaltits of hell, punishment and misery if we didn’t consecrate our time, talents, resources and life to saving the world. I was always running faster than I had strength, burned out, frustrated and stuck. Working to undo this sense is one of the most difficult things I have faced. Setting boundaries had been really tough in the first decade, but over time I started coaching myself to say no.
