Are there any support groups for people who have been affected by people in sex cults? I think I need to get into one to help me let go....
There is some information on this website about dealing with cultish experiences, may be worth a good read.
It also sounds like you are going through the more general experience of having what you thought was a wonderful relationship turn out to be bad. Its always painful. It always make you feel like you've really been taken, that trusting other people is foolish!
For a lot of people, they need to spend some time crying, beating the pillow, ranting and raving, and then finally they move on. It helps a lot to have friends to talk to, who will just sit and listen to the ranting and raving until it is over with. It takes a while though, don't expect it to happen quickly.
Sometimes, there is value in finding a local support group, or an individual therapist. Doesn't necessarily have to be oriented towards this specific situation, but it is simply a group of people who will listen.
Always though, you have to believe in yourself and your own self-worth, and every day you need to find a way to be thankful that you discovered the underlying rottenness of the relationship before you were sucked in any further.
