[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you have an education coming out of the cult? Seems like you were at least literate. Did you have a HS education? Since you were only 17 when you left, were you able to enroll and finish school when you got out?

Since you were a minor without proper documentation, did anyone help you or take you in? Were you put in foster care for year? How did find your first place & job?[/quote]

I had a pretty informal education. We were homeschooled, so you could go as fast as you were able/wanted to. But there were definitely times where you got "Tricia's delivering a baby so you need to work in the kitchen today" and did no schooling. And if Tricia was lazy and spent the next day "recovering" from midwifing, then you were back in the kitchen that day too. There were a lot of chain reactions to why things were done, and not much questioning when you were told to do something.

No, I was not in foster care. I was able to leave with my birth certificate which I stole along with money, and then got a social security card. It was unintentional but I wound up in a college town and was able to rent a room (technically a dining room made into a bedroom) by implying I was a college student. I got a job by walking into a tiny deli/corner store that had a handwritten help wanted sign. They paid off the books, which worked perfectly for me. [/quote]
