When love wins over the cult: A sweet response from my OWE mom.
Just wanted to share this wholesome interaction I had with my mom today.
For context, I used to be a very active member before I left. I even held a heavy duty responsiblity (may katungkulan) as a member of SCAN, so I know exactly how intense the mindset can get when it comes to "defending the church" or showing up for rallies.
Now, my mom is also a SCAN member. When I heard the news about the ongoing rallies, I was genuinely worried for her safety, especially since she's getting older and I'm currently far away from her and can't look after her myself.
I was honestly bracing myself for a defensive or typical OWE reply, but her response completely melted my heart. Despite everything, her love as a mother still came first. I’m just so grateful she chose to prioritize her health and safety today. ❤️
