As a fellow cult survivor, I agree with your view.

Almost 10 years out, my spouse and I still make inside jokes for the insider speech and content. However, the exit process is one that seems exclusively designed to prevent dignity from being maintained.

I definitely get that - I don’t have anyone close to me right now that escaped (sadly not all of those escapes were permanent), but I’ve been able to joke around with fellow survivors in the past. It felt really freeing to be able to talk openly enough such that we could crack a joke about it. :)

I’m glad you and your wife were able to get out, too. :)

Likewise. All the best to you. I was extremely lucky my spouse came along and left a few years after me.
