Gin, I think you are right. I think that the separation of kids from their biological parents was very devastating. There were all kinds of excuses for doing that. Once we were out and it was just us and the kids, I had the hardest time making decisions about anything regarding the kids because I was so afraid of making mistakes. It was years before I realized it was okay if I made a mistake.

One thing you said reminded me of a quote that I once read from Michael Langone, he is the psychologist from AFF who helps excult members -
he said that "when cultists leave their group, the flood gates open up and they suffer. But they don't generally return to the cult because the suffering they experience after leaving the cult is more genuine than the 'happiness' they experienced while in it." I think that is very true in many cases.
