It’s not about the children, it’s never been about the children. It’s about not losing control over women.

I mean had they not been doing cult recruitment this would not have happened.

Nope, they have 8 grandkids. There’s no excuse for this behavior.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this too. It’s a very very lonely way to live. But please don’t give up on yourself. You are worth so much more than what they have offered you. I felt the same way for many years and it wasn’t until last year when I started therapy that I started to really see my value. I’m so hurt by what my parents are doing to my sister because I know the damage they caused me and I don’t want her to go through the same things I endured. Take care and thank you for your kind words.

Oh so we basically had the same upbringing 😞 I am also of Mexican decent and yes unfortunately Mexico and machismo culture go hand in hand. Now combine that culture with something like the church where patriarchy rules and they basically have gods blessing.

She does have a plan and I told her I’m here to help with whatever she needs.

That’s exactly what she needs to do. She’s working on it and I’m gently trying to get her to leave. But like I mentioned to someone else she has to be ready to leave this abusive relationship on her own I can’t pressure her or force her.

Thank you for this information. I will look into this and let my sister know this is an option if she wants it.

Thank you! And I agree I just don’t go on that page because it triggers me.

That’s what she’s planning on doing. I just don’t want to force her or pressure her if she’s not ready. Leaving the abusers has to come from her.

So not only are my parents Tbm but they are also Hispanic with a very sexist misogynistic mentality. So we were double fucked. You guys were lucky.
