Around Néa Ionía, the cost of leaving falls hardest inside the family rather than in public life. The community may talk, but the real weight is at the dinner table, the holiday gathering, the moment someone asks the kids if they said their prayers.
Elder X has been through the religious exit himself — the family rupture, the guilt that would not stop, the psych wards, the isolation of being the person nobody in your family understands anymore. If you are in Néa Ionía and that description lands, reach out. Not therapy. Personal advice from someone who made it to the other side.
Whatever tradition you came out of, the rebuild follows a pattern. First you leave. Then you grieve. Then you figure out who you are without the container that used to hold your identity.
