Man...when I hear from some escapees of that, I feel kind of lucky my parents were crazy but in a smaller group. About the views vs. feedback thing, I think it's because when you've actually fought for your own mind and won, you're in a different world than most people. Most don't fight that fight, and of those who do and win, few are benevolent on the other side of it. Forgive my being too much in the feels, but it's good that you kept some heart in that struggle. Treasure that. :-)
