I, too, spentany a day and night agonizing over my son's decision disappear from our lives - only for a while. I believe that ties that were there in his time with you cannot be broken and he will return, as will our son. Our son has already reached out to a family member recently in a "hey, how are you" way, which is the first family contact he's had in a year. Hopeful. In the meantime, keep becoming the best version of you that you can be, strong, loving, courageous. He's going to need your strength when he comes out of the cult. My husband is also very similar to yours in that he hurts for our son and the lack of relationship but he realizes we don't need the drama in our lives right now. Our son is into some really dangerous, evil, depraved stuff (tindr, antifa, 3-somes, devil worship, etc). I just recently found it online through his reddit account, which I happened upon when googling his current chosen name (it changes regularly on a whim). As a person of faith, I lean on the source of my strength and continue to work every day on developing myself and put my energies into the plan I've been given to walk put while on this earth, helping others. My prayers are with you and your family!

Please forgive the writing errors. Still half sleep....
To be fair, I think most of us here are half awake from lack of sleep or just feeling in a fog of disbelief that this is our reality. 😉
Take care.
