Alright so I've posted a bit about this in the past. I realize it is a sensitive subject, as I'd much of what is discussed here.

Basically in my life my religion was everything to me. I felt it was a core aspect of who I was, what I stood for, what fought for. To me my religion was the opposite of my alcohlic parents.

A lot has unfolded and I could go on and on. Basically in this religion I feel you are shamed for having friends that do not believe the same things. But I feel the big problem is that members of this religion do not believe in ACOA stuff. i feel they dont believe in getting/giving/having support in regards to acoa issues. I feel your just supposed to pretend like it's no big deal. I feel I've been told a whole host of horrible things / shame oriented things because I was fighting for healing, support and understanding.

So basically I feel I've been forced to come to the conclusion that it simply is no place for me or people like me.

The trouble for me is that my beliefs were a core part of who I felt I was. Now i feel i dont know if i have any beliefs. I dont know what i stand for. I don't know who I am. i dont know where I belong. I just have no clue any more.

Anyone else been through similar? What do I do with myself???
