And how does one get a kid to leave this cult, especially if they are a YA and estranged? I don't know that I even see extrication happening with tweens/teens. It seems all the detransitioners say it's just a matter of time or just something just clicked for them. Until then, families are broken and dysfunctional. Such a sad state of affairs.

I'm afraid this is probably where we are. We always hold out hope but our own daughter is SO heavily invested in the cult and maintaining her identity, it would take something monumental to create any change because she is radicalised. I just want us to be alive and in good health when in 5? 10? yrs time something will happen that will compel her to come back to herself, more than anything else. Until then, I'll keep up this vigil by trying to expose how the cult preys on the vulnerable. I won't stop trying to shine a light on how it all works. I've been educated after all

Do you know where she is? This past fall I found out where my son is. Going on 3 years estranged now. Just discovered a SM site and read through a year of texts. I can see he is not doing well. Mentioned that his parents are not supportive -- sheesh. We didn't even discuss it -- just didn't use his name over Thanksgiving break. This is how indoctrinated they are to the cult. Peace and Strength to you and your family!

Here's my response to Debbie (David) Hayton and his apologia/denial of the harms done by an ideology he embraced. We are not fooled.

It's the bane of my life, how little interest or curiosity men show in this. Male politicians in particular are criminally indifferent
