No one wants to give up on their dreams...and sometimes it hard to admit to yourself you've been duped! Cause now you've got to explain to all your family and friends why you are getting out (aka letting go) of something you were sooo excited about!

Just because you may get out of MK doesn't mean you have to give up on your dreams....stick to them and find a realistic, non pink, attainable way of getting there!

Stick around...."recovery" here is a wonderfully liberating experience, not to mention a hoot with this fantastic board!

Your post really showed honest and true emotion. I never found that in MK til I got here.

Good luck with your decision and listen to your conscience....It's screaming at you...your name says it all! 

Ditto Sassy, listen to your heart PD. It sounds like you have good info in your head, and your gut will tell you the rest. I stayed in MK for my friend, my recruiter. I wanted to be a good team member for her. It was really hard to admit that it wasn't for me. But I am glad I am not pretending anymore. It is a huge weight lifted. 

Thank you all so much, I really needed your feedback and support.  I, too, didn't want to let people down who (I thought) believed in me, and I didn't want to let myself down, either.  MK is addictive, I think.  Directors and other consultants and the Unitnet sites all sound so believable and, before you know it, you're sucked into it. 

I have to think these people really believe what they are saying and telling you...it's very hard for me to believe that they are knowingly lying to others (other than the Dacia's of the world, according to what I've read).  I guess the thing is I would never knowingly deceive or lie to someone else in order to profit from their inability to book, sell or recruit and certainly not from them going into debt over it; and the other thing is, now that I see what is going on, there is no way I could ever recruit someone else into MK.  My conscience would not allow me to sleep at night or look at myself in the mirror.

Thank you so much to Pink Lighthouse and Pink Truth for being there for those of us who are questioning everything and feeling/experiencing the same things so many of us out there are feeling and experiencing.  Now we (I) know it's not just me.....

Have you heard about RipOffReports.com ? They have a couple of reports about MK, and the replies are too funny!

Hi Danielle, I don't have the link, but sometimes on cnn.com you can find archived stories, and the one about Wal-Mart is probably somewhere on the business section.  Well, I just looked and it's not there.  I will keep checking over the next several days, sometimes it takes awhile to show up.  Eventually it will, everything does...will let you know what I find.

And best of all, I am finally FREE from the MK pink bubble...today I realized that what I have been doing for a living (and pretty well-paid at that, I might add) probably has a market out there, instead of doing this for a single company/boss.  In other words, I think I can take my marketing skills and find clients who will pay me for bringing in new customers the same way my current employer does.  Only, if I have several clients (and I have had several business owners, including one who asked to go along with me as I made my calls to learn from me, tell me they wish I could do the same for them in the past), I might actually be able to make more money than I currently am even with self-employment taxes and health insurance costs.  I am going to do more research into this....but I am definitely excited about the possibility!  Wooo-hooo..........
