Thanks for reminding me about the triggers and spelling out what some of them are. Because my cult experience was relatively brief, there's a level at which I have no clue about the sensitivities of long-term Family members. But I don't think it's necessary to totally understand where people are coming from; what's important is to be sensitive and respectful when someone tells me where their boundaries and triggers are.

There are multiple constructions of reality, and each one of those realities is true to the people who live in a particular worldview. That's a hard concept for some people to get. You've done a good job of gently laying it out, particularly the unique nature of the SG experience & resulting worldview.
