If anyone can help me, I would appreciate some advice 🙂
]]>Anne, you are right that she is brainwashed. The feelings that you are having are real and justified. What you need to do in order to help her get out is going to go against what you are really going to want to do. When my loved on was trapped by this group I just wanted to prove just how false this group is. DON’T DO THAT!!! She has already been prepped with the idea that people outside of this group are going to try and take away the “Truth” from them so if you start in on her with proving that this group is false she will see it as they were right. You will look like you are trying to take away the information that has been shared with her. Again, DON’T DO THAT!!! What you need to do is show her real love! The so called love that she thinks that she’s discovered will eventually fade and she will remember that your love has not faded. Keep the lines of communication open! This is key number two. The group will try and separate her from all previous support system that were in her life including you. They will attempt to place themselves into that role so that your daughter will only listen to them when things count. They will attempt to cut her off from all outside influences especially things that go directly against their teachings. Your best approach when talking with her about this is to act curious, ask questions, and help her to come to her own conclusions. She has studied her way into this mess and she will need to study her way out of it. This is going to be a very slow process so you need to be very patient and at times very disarming. When tensions start to build you need to back down. Hard to do I know but believe me this is what helps. When they can’t defend because you won’t fight they are not sure how to handle it. Keep showing love and keep the lines of communication open. BTW Never let her talk you or any other family member into attending a service or study. It will only make her go further into the group. They are already telling her that if she tries hard enough and sticks with them then her family will come into the WMSCOG as well. It’s a trap! Don’t fall for it!
