I need help and advice on what may be the last opportunity to get my aunt out.

[ClearEyed]

Thank you all so much for your help and advice... I shall do some further investigation... hopefully things will be ok.

Please feel free to stop by anytime you have more questions. You'll probably continue to get advice on this thread, so may want to check back again tomorrow.

I hope it all works out well for you and your family.

I am missing something here. What actually is the problem?

As I see it you are being asked to look after her daughter for 3 weeks while she goes off and does crazy things with the cult.

Show the daughter 3 weeks of wonderful, happy living; go to the movies or a show, go to the beach, long walks with happy talk. Don't mention Scientology EVER to her.

You cannot "get your aunt out" - Only she can get out and all your attempts to make her see the truth by brow beating her will have the opposite effect.

Besides, no matter how blind you might think she is, she knows a hell of a lot more about Scientology than you do and in the end it is HER choice whether she stays.

Simply enjoy the company of her daughter and show her a great time.

Your aunt will find the path out in her own time.

Dude, that's kidnapping. You want to take the kid, you tell Social Services there's a problem and let THEM do it.

I can't believe some of you actually thought just taking the kid would be ok.

Like, I really don't want to have to be baking any of you a caek with a fuckin' file in it.

Who said anything about kidnapping? Claire....what's with you?

The aunt asked her to take care of her daughter while she goes on the ship. So I say take her and you think that's kidnapping?

And....I'm not a dude!!!

Also, I want to say.....while you are taking care of the daughter, be careful what you say about Scientology. Since she has been around it for the last year and a half and her mother is a Scientologist, she is probably well indoctrinated about SP's (people who are antagonistic to Scientology or critical of it). If the daughter is pro-Scientology, like her mother, and she finds out that you are against it, she will think of you as an SP and will most likely become afraid of you and turn on you, and as soon as she has a chance to speak to her mother, she will tell her about you and you will most likely never see either one of them again until one or the other of them decides to leave Scientology on their own.

Definately watch your cousin if you can, the mom will be fine on her Freewinds cruise, she;s just going to do a course. I highly doubt she will sign up for the sea org as she has a 12 year old daughter and they aren't qualified to be in sea org until they are 14 or 15 from my understanding. I would suggest reading Steve Hassans books ASAP, this will give you a real clear picture of what you are up against with your Aunt. Once you read his book you will come up with a better plan. Do keep us posted and good luck.

Best of luck. Maybe, just maybe, that lightening bolt of sanity will strike and they will return to the real reality. But don't ruin your life worrying about their future.
As all we ex's were at one time, they are on their own and they are the one's who will have to opt out. You can only do so much. Then let it go. I'm sure you'll see them down the road when in their Scio universe runs in to the brick wall that awaits. Sooner if they are not mega-wealthy. It's very sad that the youngster has to be sucked into this with her mom.
