I'm mostly over it now.
My awareness of cults was far above average and I still got seduced.
Was bummed out by parental death that left me guilt ridden, no family, living in own apartment for first time.
Classic sitting duck situation.
When the going gets tough it is *human* and appropriate to trust someone who has been a close friend, with whom you've gotten arrested at peace demonstrations.
My pal was in a very clever setup, may never have known shed been weaponized.
Which is why its so important to educate the public and make resources available to anyone who has misgivings.
Thanks for joining the discussion here at CEI.
I now have much better buddies in my life, heh, heh.
