I don't feel that sorry for the older Family youth. They have access to many letters and can step away and review things if they wish. I have been having communications with some of them, and they are pretty set in their ways, at least for now. They have an arguement for each negative topic you bring back and a convenient way of saying, "That was in the past, we don't even need to think about it." or "I never saw any abuse happen to or around me."

And so they conveniently hide from negative issues. The thing is, if they ever decide to leave, it will backfire on them and they will be pissing angry at themselves and the group.

I just hope in my communications with the few I've had contact with, that they will know there is a support group to go to when they need help and direction. It's just something they don't hardly even realise until they've decided to leave, then they see, "Wow, something here is really not right!" but up to that point of crossing the line, they can't see it, they won't see it cause it means they are living and following something that's a bit screwy. And they have their pride to keep intact too.
