I do think that encouraging people to stay in contact with their family and work to have good relationships is very useful. Family can provide a form of grounding that having small talk with normies while going dancing or persuing other hobbies doesn’t provide.
When deciding whether a personal development group is culty I think it’s a good test to ask whether or not the work of the group lead to the average person in the group having better or worse relationships with their parents.
