I left my mom and 3 younger sisters helpless at the hands of a madman
I can understand feeling bad that your sisters are still there, but your mom is an adult. She made the choice to stay and to not do anything about your dad beating you. It sounds like the brainwashing was intense but I'm sure others have seen through it and gotten out. For an adult, it still comes down to choice at the end of the day.
My question is (and sorry if this is too personal) have you dated or had relationships since being out of the cult? It seems like it would be tough to go from the crazy view of relationships and gender roles you were raised with to the way people date and have relationships in regular society.
