I got this feedback on my writing about my emotional addictions:
“When you’re in your Orthodox Jewish community, do you have to hide an entire side of yourself? What’s that like? I want to get in there and know what’s going on that keeps you there. Is it empowering? Is it horrible? Is there any conflict? How much do these people know about who you are and what you deal with and the type of people you’ve consorted with?”
ANSWER: Everyone knows and reacts in their own way. Few people in the community view me as a threat anymore.
