Re: [MLM Survivors Club] Help! I am a spouse who is "addicted" to Amway

Yes, I know I have to make the choices, and he now has
gotten back into after a 8 year haitus with it. I
cannot reason with him. It is cult-like that is for
sure, for him at least how I see it. He has an uncle
who is an Emerald, so that too has a hold over him.

It's hard, and we separated once over it, and it may
happen again, sadly.

Thank you....
