short time, long effects.

It just depends on your experiences in the cult. Two years, or only two days, or twenty years... are equal in one respect, when you become a part of a cult - for however long - that experience becomes a part of your life, a part of your past, a part of who you are. You can leave the cult, go on with a happy, healthy life, and never think about it again - but that experience is still a part of you. So the fact that you still are affected by it ten years later, means only that you are aware of the things that influence your life - which is good - too many people have no idea why they do the things they do in life, and do not even realize the things that influence their thoughts and decisions an actions. Would you like to share something more specific about how it affects you or what your experiences were? ((hugs))
