You said elsewhere that you're going to therapy for your own healing, which is great. But let's suppose you had been doing that for 10 years already and were now pretty much fully recovered, but that your young adult offspring were going through severe cult-related issues.

Even though you yourself would be recovered would you truly be "walking in a state of victory" if those you loved the most were suffering? You'd have whole NEW issues of anger and frustration and the cult, even tho those issues didn't stem from your personal suffering.
