My heart goes out to you. Our daughter is also captured, living with a trans person Ind has underlying mental health issues that have not been addressed due to her being sucked into the cult. We are managing to maintain contact but only just and we cannot discuss it with her ever. I dread what the future holds, as I think will you. We have to hang on in there somehow and stay strong. Your daughter's behaviour shows that she knows that you are there for her, no matter what, and that is something to hold onto. I sincerely believe they are not doing it on purpose to hurt us and that we have to blame the cult, not the victim.

I'm so sorry for what you, your daughter and your entire family are going through. I'm glad that she does call you when she needs help, and finally opened up a bit to you. Those are both positive signs. Keep going; it seems like there is a chance she will open up more and more over time. Wishing you all the best in finding a hospital. For now, though, it is good that she is home and safe with you, even though I'm sure it is beyond stressful. Keep up the good work, but do remember to look after yourself, as well. Sending love and friendship.
