My girlfriend and mother of my two children is in a cult for over five years and I can't get her out
I had my own reservations about this sect/cult but I never dared to express my true feelings about them toward my girlfriend for fear of losing her and potentially disbanding our nice little family. Very recently one of the cult's representatives has started an extortion campaign against me after first brainwashing my girlfriend, forcing me to join the cult and pay up or face the very destruction of our relationship I have feared all these years.
There's basically nothing I can do against this... My girlfriend is too far gone already. I'm of course building a case against this cult and reported them to the police. My lawyer says cults are protected by law in this country (Netherlands) and I can't take legislative action against them.
If anyone has useful tips for me I'd like to hear them... In any case I'm treating this very delicate situation with the utmost care and the proverbial velvet gloves.
It's also hard to prove things in the case I'm building because this organisation knows exactly what they're doing and is very slippery and vile.
The brainwashing occurs in multiple face to face sessions for which my girlfriend has to drive 3 hours one way, so 6 hours return trip on a day without traffic jams.
Since I don't exactly know what happens during these sessions it's hard to prove the malicious intent of this organisation, but the result is that my girlfriend now threatens to end our relationship, based on the information in a harmless looking e-mail she has received from the representative, which states that I as a partner are negatively influencing and inhibiting her spiritual growth.
TLDR: The conclusion is that I should join the cult and pay them insane amounts of money or face the consequences with what I can only describe as the complete destruction of my family with two young children.
I refuse to be extorted this way and I will fight them with every last bit of strength in my body!
There are only three people actively running the cult and I don't know how many members it has.
For now I'm trying the legal route to take them down, but I'm also in possession of a particular set of skills if you catch my drift... (No lol it's not what you think, I'm a cybersecurity specialist)
