Been a little fascinated and obsessed with a few shows regarding individuals leaving the polygamist society. I was never raised in a compound and neither do I have many mothers, but I can relate to them because I was raised with a facade.  The perfect child of a minister with his "perfect" wife. Although I never had to "escape" into the outside world, I was very ill prepared for the outside world. That's why I relate to their warp perception of the real world because I was once there. I see myself quite differently now, but it took close to twenty years for me to be where I am. The individuals in the show have so much more hurdles to overcome. If it took me twenty years, I wonder how long it will take them?
