Dear Dingo,
Thank you so much for your very generous response. Everything you wrote I have seen in my son. The interesting thing is that I would not have thought of him as an emotionally needy, weak, or lonely individual. He was very loved, involved in family. We talked if not daily at least multiple times a week. He comes from a very strong marriage oriented family where his dad and I have been married for almost 30 years. However I will say he is a very tender hearted individual who fell very much in love with a young girl whose parents recently divorced and whose life was turned totally upside down by this event. Her mother spent an entire twenty plus years in a failing marriage that she never should have started to begin with, then when that finally ended because her husband left for another woman, she began searching for something and found RL. She then infected her daughter, who in turn infected my son and has devastated our family.
I appreciate all the details you included. This is extremely troubling and I have to say that I know some Mormons and have asked them what they think of this and they are genuinely shocked, however religion is not important because this crosses all religions and is a respector of no one. They will destroy you and your family regardless of religion! My remaining family has decided to join our efforts to make it our lives work to bring our son back no matter what it takes! When we do, I will share my experience! Family is the most important thing I have on earth and I will be darned if a two-bit PhD is going to ruin what I sacrificed my entire life to create and maintain!
