esso "parent"

[Tru2form]

Wow, just read your stories, Dennis. Intense, heartbreaking, honest.
Thank God you and your family got out; so sorry you lost your baby girl. Regarding your decision to leave, did you feel like something within you just snapped, or was it a gradual build-up and this was just the last straw?

This part brought me to tears:

"I have not mentioned the parental neglect of children I have witnessed in my 15 years in the cult, the conditions in the Cadet Org -- where children of Sea Org parents are warehoused without contact from parents for weeks on end, or the work camp conditions of some of the facilities for children because it is enough for me to admit the abuse to which I exposed MY OWN children.

I don't know if anyone can comprehend the remorse I feel for subjecting my children to this alienating, warped, repressive environment. I pray our story serves as a warning: SCIENTOLOGY IS DANGEROUS TO THE HEALTH AND SANITY OF YOUR CHILDREN!!"

I am sure that your honesty and willingness to take responsibility will go a long way in securing your daughters' forgiveness. Now that your daughters are recovering and the healing process continues, will you report the abuse and neglect of other children which may still be going on in scientology?

(As a mom and a teacher, the children are why I fight this cult. )

My best to you and your family.
