Dear Freaked Out,
I agree with you that this board seems to not have many happy endings but that does not mean they don't exist. I did manage to get my girlfriend out of Landmark and I have read other accounts on other sites. You can do a search on my name as I have documented the progress over a period of 18 months or so.

To exit counsel someone depends very much upon your own patience and wisdom in knowing when to speak and when not to and also what to say. Windows of opportunity open up from time to time with the cult victim, particularly when they have moments of doubt about the group and they always do. That little voice inside is never fully put to sleep.
Remember also, that most cult victims leave the group through emotional, physical or spiritual exhaustion, not necessarily through intelectual rigor.
Your job is a little harder since she is moving but we don't know what will happen in the years ahead and at that moment she may remember your friendship and ask for help.
Maybe you will have better short term luck with warning the mutual friend. Rick has allot of good advice in the main section of his website.
I wish you well,
Oz
