You belong to the family of man now. Try to find the love and connection in a new place maybe. And a new way."
Tknc, I agree with Puddington. I also got help from a counselor. It was very helpful for me. If you have any way to do seek professional help, please try to do that. I also wonder if you have grandparents or other extended family members who were not in agreement with your parents' belief system? If so, perhaps they could give you moral support. You and your wife do not deserve to be continually controlled and manipulated by your parents' bizarre beliefs and life choices.
Also, you previously mentioned that your parents were in Impact. In my opinion, Impact and other related "kingdom businesses" were a cult within a cult. They considered themselves JRS' elite intercessors. If the Walk could be compared to the Army, then Impact considered themselves the Green Berets. They were taught to live an extreme lifestyle of impoverishment and crazed prophecy sessions. If you look around now, there are many from that group that never quite made the transition to any kind of normal life. I'm making this observation in case it might help turn on a lightbulb for you about what you've been through.
