Anyonealive,
I know all too well. I was actually in Impact for 4 years starting in 2006 and it damn near ruined my life. I went through Quest, Summit, Lift Off, Inner Woman 1 and Inner Woman 2. I was brainwashed. The only advice I can give is to be as supportive as possible. No matter what you say or do, you will always be "wrong". Even though Impact preaches that their is no right or wrong. Everything they teach is completely contradictory. It's going to boggle your mind on how or why anyone would act the way they will. The logical part of the brain is completely brainwashed and it's frustrating watching those you love and care about go down a harmful path. It's a very selfish training. Your feelings pretty much won't matter so don't even try to get them to listen to you. Either they will wake up to see the truth on their own or someone who works at the center will do something stupid to shed light on the fakeness happening in Impact. The latter is what happened to me and I'm grateful for it.
Hang in there. There are people out here who have been there and been sucked in. Most of the time the novelty wears off after awhile. The "high" they are feeling will not last forever. I hope they realize sooner rather than later that this is not a healthy place.
Just an example of what kind of people they have working at this place: [www.sltrib.com]
That man was so overly friendly with the women, including myself, and no one would do anything about it.
Hoping for some relief to you and your family! :)
