I'm glad you found your path out. It's pale in comparison but I can relate to having to purge an entire life time of friends and family. Even if they weren't good times, all the happy memories I had were from those times. Takes a long time to replaced 20 years of good memories with better memories and even longer to drown out the bad memories. I truly hope you've found your path to back to happiness. :)
I've always been annoyed at how Cult gets thrown around, especially towards groups I think are producing better end results and living happier lives.
Really takes away from the seriousness of Cults that are destroying lives.
Grew up in a cult. You are 100% correct.
It took over a decade to fully heal from the damage they did.
It cost me my family and 20 years of friends to leave, the mental escape was not easy or instant.
