Recovery from Abusive Groups Page 7
It is possible to rebuild your life. You will not be able to make up for all the
years the cult has stolen from you, but you can make up for some of those lost
years. I've worked very hard to recover from an overprotective and domineering
family, seven years in a cult, a rape while in the cult, two forced
deprogrammings each with conservatorships, a lawsuit for trying to help
someone out of a cult, too many job changes, and too many unfulfilling
relationships after the cult.
If you are willing to stick with it, to work at it, to work through and let go of
myths that look like truths, not only in the cult but also in society, and if you are
willing to acquire new skills and improve others, you can build a healthy and
well-functioning life with a dream you can work toward.
