This has to be really hard. How old is she now? I am glad that your other daughter got to see her. Does she get snail mail and photos from y'all? Maybe on a future visit she could be told that if she ever wants to get out she has a family on the outside that won't use her up! Photos of family get togethers, fun, your other kids driving a car, things that might on a more subconcious level make her think about how she is living and maybe a code sentence, like when you write to her and say "Wishing you the best" she could know it means we miss you and are here if you ever want to get out..... I am glad you got out with as many kids as you did, Acheick, and I know how hard that is. All those things, multiple kids, no basic skills such as driving, checking,etc. How overwhelming, and how dependent it makes one to the cult. Is she allowed to take the kids and visit you, or visit on her own? If so, maybe you could get together with others and arrange a dinner or something that could actually be an intervention? Well, I am talking off the top of my head, and know that this is easy to say, perhaps impossible to do if she can't leave. In any case, I am so sorry for the pain you must go through to see/hear of this without being able to do much other than visit, if and when that would even be allowed. :(
