- Go to THE END OF THE JOURNEY
You are free to pursue your journey through life.
I know with my journey I let my families view interfere or affect to much in the choices I do or do not make. That is a big hurdle that I need to overcome, and end. I have no one to blame but myself.

What a difficult path you have trodden, and how courageous to follow it. My grandfather's family was Plymouth Brethren, and when he came out, he wasn't allowed even to send his sister a calendar at Christmas. It is so very painful to be cut off from family and friends, and yet the 'free' world has so much to offer, not all of it bad! Good luck with your tough pilgrimage.

The end of one journey only signifies the beginning of a new and better one, zippy. Many blessings are wished for you.

No one is ever "free" even when they think they are. It is a part of being human that makes one have invisible strings that are impossible to sever.

Attaining one's freedom, especially from a troubled past, can be so difficult. I believe that you will accomplish this though.

You have certainly been through a lot, but nothing could brake your spirit, and I am sure you're stronger for it...

I so appreciate your need to be free! I think it is the only way to come to terms with things that happen and try to hold one hostage as it were! sam

I don't like that stepdad much. Not because he's
a member of some clannish group, but because he's a cruel jackass. It's sad that your mother didn't get wise to his toxic influence and give him the boot, but that's her choice. You don't owe it to anyone to put up with someone who is clearly jealous and resentful because you are the daughter of his wife's first spouse. In fact, you owe it to yourself to avoid his poison.

Don't let him have power over you any longer.
The only thing that matters in NOW. How are you going to live your life? Where are you going to? What do you want out of life?
You will find your freedom and to where you belong. Take your life and make it your own.
Don't let what someone of so little significance ruin your happiness.
Even though you hate some of the choices they've made, realize that no one in your family is him. Try to see and believe in who they are and not in what part of them you may see "him".
If you can see someone for who they are and still feel they are a constant negativity, it's time to move away from them.

JL The rigid dress code of tradition interests me. Respectfully I’ve checked your photo. It’s only my conjecture that there’s some freedom for individuality (the photo notwithstanding). Besides your journey I’ve worked in Lakewood, N.J. Are they Frum? The men wear hats and long coats. In contrast to Hamish they drive cars. Honestly I like the women dresses. I confess that I found myself attractive to one blonde woman in Lakewood (really). If I can do it with respect I hope that it’s appropriate for you if I wish you to take the best next “Step” love. Enjoy. BC-A, Bill’s RJLst

God gave you freedom of choice and the only human who can alter that
is yourself. Follow the path that you and your God are comfortable with and it will be the right one. Perhaps for you being surrounded by rules and regulations that worked well in another era would stifle and destroy your lovely spirit and are not what God who loves you expects from you. It willbe exciting to read how you move along from here. xoxoxo with love from Kabu.

Take rest and solace in the Lord my dear. For He is always near and what you've gone through you've not done in vain. God did not cause it but He will use it. Religion in times like now seems almost as painful as anything else, but that is our fault. People have abused like the Bible said they would. You were born for a reason. God loves you and He has a plan for you my dear.
