What do you think about this? Can you simply just quit and say "sorry"? Does that absolve you of everything you've done?

But excuses don't absolve you from your past actions, only your present and future actions do. That doesn't mean that a genuine apology is worthless; you have to change the way you think before you change the way you act. So it's great that she and her sister were able to break away from the influence of such a horrible organization. It takes strength to do what's right, even when that means being cut off from your family.
