It’s hard to believe that we’ve made it this far. This chapter explains the third Desistance Action Phase (DAP). After this, there are only two more!

Anyway, this draft of our book has our blueprint to help parents further develop lasting bonds. It also includes the important step of dissolving the fantasies your child has. Most parents are eager to reach this step because it’s the part where you deprogram them from cult indoctrination.
