Translation from Reddit...shows that even the slightest contact will prevent them from returning to the destructive cult:
Looking back, I recognize that my parents have worked hard to make things right, as Jehovah wants.
But as I did not hate evil, I couldn't see that my decisions were incorrect.
Eventually, that led me to do things that I later regretted.
I was disfellowshipped from the congregation.
Sonia Erickson has been disfellowshipped.
My family was devastated.
Later, my father explained to me that could I not live with them because I did not want to change my lifestyle.
He said I was a bad influence for my younger siblings.
Well, I'm leaving now!
I was determined to do whatever I wanted.
The day I left home, I only thought of Erick.
I did not care about the pain I was causing my parents.
I did not think about the sadness and disappointment that caused them.
The I blamed them for my situation.
I blamed Jehovah too.
Despite everything I'd done, my family missed me a lot.
What helped them to remain loyal to Jehovah all those years I was out of the congregation?
The biblical example of Aaron.
Jehovah directly killed two sons of Aaron.
On that occasion, He ordered him and his family not express sorrow for the whole nation to see that they agreed with that divine decision.
Mom and Dad knew they had to be loyal as was Aaron.
They loved me and wanted me to return to Jehovah.
I tried to communicate with them.
I wanted to talk to them and hear their voices.
I missed being with family.
They also thought to approach me.
But they knew well that if they had had contact with me, even if only a little to see how they were, that small dose would have sufficed.
I would have been led to believe that I didn't need to return to Jehovah
