"Christians know that free will is the only thing we are going to be judged upon and giving up on it must be the worse thing to do."

Yes, realizing that I had given over my free will to the cult is the main issue. Taking responsibility for that choice beyond the mind control is the hurdle I haven't overcome yet.
Forgiving myself for my bad choices and learning from the whole experience, turning it around from being a root of bitterness to a spring of enrichment will bring me the wholeness and perhaps the peace that I seek. You may not have realized it but you did answer my question. Thank you.
