I am aware of being a poster on the Coordinator's yellow brick road, with the various shades of siteland security alert codes I have incurred, but I will try to behave to their satisfaction in this post.

May I humbly request to be allowed to ask a question about your following statement:

""What do I want?" World peace. But I'd be happy with as many former members and their children to be able to heal and build healthy families."

So what about the children of people who are not former members (in other words, children of people who stayed)? Is our healing/healthy families unworthy, undeserving?

In many cases(perhaps not all, due to individual choices), because of the inherently communal nature of life in the COG/ FOL/ The Family/TF International, people have incurred debts to children of others. Some of those others' children had 0 help from anybody.

There is a question as well as a caveat. The question is, what of us (if your parents abused us). The caveat is, however much exfamily pleases Johnny Reb aka Jo anne, exfamily does not control the actions or statements of people abused by particular Family cult members (put simply, those of us who were abused may continue to say so and name the perps -- and in today's America, we will not be the first nor alone).
