Hi MKR! Yes, it has been a long time. Sometimes it shocks me, how long it's been, that we have been posting and reading and connecting here.
What's new? Not much. But not nothing, either. We do know that there are people in Sanford reading everything posted here. So sometimes things that are going on are not discussed here ... I am sure everyone understands why at times, keeping things more private is a good idea.
Consequently though, I think there may be the impression that nothing is happening. Because of the lack of traffic here, some may think no one cares anymore. But the view meter is up to 6,557,287, so it appears people are still logging on to check here at a frequent rate.
I have a feeling most of the MKs who once posted here (some quite passionately) have drifted away. Everyone has their own personal reasons for this. I think many MK survivors of abuse are young or middle-aged adults who are struggling just to keep their own lives together. Pressures and stressors are always present. Juggling relationships, jobs, children, health, etc etc is exhausting. I think there is also a loss of hope. Hope is such a powerful thing, and I think hope is what drew us together when we began this journey six or seven years ago. Hope for validation. Hope for justice. Hope for true, appropriate consequences to those who hurt us. As the years pass and our hopes do not come true, it really is demoralizing. I am very empathetic with those who have drifted away from these forums because of loss of hope. It is pretty much where I am at too. I have lost hope. But I have not surrendered.
Because of the waning of interest and activity, I would agree with your statement. Yes, it does seem like things are going along just fine for our friendly NTM people. I think their lawyers advised them to just wait things out. "They can't live on hate forever." I think NTM feels completely justified in their opinion that we who gather here are simply fueled by hate and bitterness. Which then puts them solidly on the "right side", because after all, they are godly, spirit-led people, so of course they are always right. And we are always wrong.
But this journey isn't over yet. I never know when a new day will bring a surprise. Because of this, I am pressing on, and so are a handful of others who continue to gather and post here regularly. We need each other. We count on each other. And any time anyone wants to stop by and check on us, we are very pleased to hear from you! Any of you!
