Thank you , geraldt, for the link to the Newsday article. I reread it today after 25 years and was more appalled than the first time. After the first time I knew I would never leave my husband and children and life to join. after rereading it, I am appalled that my parents stayed and stayed and stayed........ It scares me that otherwise intelligent functioning humans can be so manipulated.
You are most welcome.
My prayer is that it (the article) opens more eyes and actually helps someone else as it helped me. Although I left just before it was published, when I actually read it, I knew and was reassured that, in spite of all I had given up by leaving and all the confusion and pain leaving caused, I had in fact made the right move. It took a lot of time but, eventually things got better. I've since shared my story with many others (in many different walks of life) and I believe it has had a positive effect on each of them.
