I have now dealt with much of the abuse I suffered at the hands of my father and his paedophile friends when I was growing up. I even went to the police and they are investigating the ring. But every so often I see him or someone who 'adores' him comes up to me to sing his praises and I become extremely angry.
He and my mother were in a cult while I was a baby. They used primal scream therapy and, from what I have gathered from my mum, the leader was a very angry human being. My mother was a broken person following the experience and has had many breakdowns since. My father, on the other hand, has gone from strength to strength. He learnt a lot about how to abuse power within the cult and used it to make my upbringing a living hell.
Although I wish it weren't so, the day he dies will be the happiest day of my life.
I live in a culture that venerates 'the family' above all else. I have old friends I wouldn't tell about the abuse because I know I would never hear from them again. I know most people where I live would walk past me lying on the street bleeding, if my father were standing over me. All because of the sanctity of 'the family'. Well, to me family is the greatest cult of all and it's cult-like behaviour is so permeated into the fabric of society that child abuse is 'accepted' by normal, upstanding members of the community.
I know there is beauty in the world, and trust and innocence, but throughout it all there is the greatest ignorance. I believe that to get a handle on the problem of emerging cults, one must start with the type of conditioning that goes on within the family and then society's relation to the family structure.
Most families breed perfect candidates for cults.
