====================
November 17, 1986
Dear Dad,
I have been in close comm with Ricky this past week since returning from doing OT III at Flag. He informed me about the Knowledge Report stating you and Millie had been seen at a Mayo picnic. He also gave me a summary of the long conversation he had with you yesterday (Sunday).
Ricky told me you refused to go to the MAA and would not promise to cease any contact with Mayo & Group. By having any contact at all with Mayo's Suppressive Group you are risking your entire Eternity. I implore you to go to the MAA at AOLA and get handled immediately--waiting will only make it worse. To refuse to handle, and to continue to associate in any way with Mayo will only seal your fate.
Scientology is the most important thing in my life. I know without any doubts or reservations that it works. And I care about my Eternity. I also care about yours, which is why I urge you to handle this situation before it is too late.
But until you do, I cannot and will not risk my own future. Therefore, until you have been given a clean bill of health from the MAA--are in good standing with the Church, have disconnected from Mayo and his group, and handled whatever Ethics program assigned by the MAA, I cannot continue to be in communication with you in any way.
I will be happy to hear from you once your Ethics cycle is handled, but until then will neither give nor receive communication to or from you. I disconnect.
Love,
Sherene

I have my "disconnect" letter here in my files. I will mail it to be placed on abs . After it is scanned there I'll type the text here. His was in affidavit form and notorized. The nastiest part of his disconnect notice was that he signed it on the anniversary of his father's death. I thought that was meaner than dirt. Oh well in that I have mailed this so many times I have lost count maybe it slowed the cult up a little in mailing these to broken hearted parents. I heard a while back that the parent gets a call. Does anyone know if that is true?

When Metal Health is Threatened FROM The Mind Alive -Overstreet That which promotes psychic health and the full vital aliveness of the mind deserves support. That which undermines such health-encouraging fixation, regression, perennial immaturity, and blockages of relationship between the individual and his environment-is suspect
