I think one of the most powerful things about your story is that, contrary to so many people, you actually DID get your baby back. You don't know how many people have never managed to get back in touch with their kids lost in the cult, grown up their entire lives in the cult. A while ago a father named Mark I believe his name is, posted on this board sharing how his 18-20 year old son had been taken from him, grown up in the cult and told "Your father doesn't love you."
The kids still trapped in there are told a lie that turns them against the "systemite parent". You are so, so fortunate you got your child out when you did. Good for you for your fighting spirit. Even tho you were wounded in the process, think of how much pain and lies and grief your child was spared. Good for you!
