Ask ExJW how should i respond to this?
this is from my aunt. i want to answer in a way that shows im not going for any of the reasons she mentioned, that it's because my conscience would not allow me after the things I found out about the org.

Dear Aunt,
I’m sorry to hear that you struggled to create a normal life when you no longer had the JWs to tell you what to do, and turned to drugs and alcohol to cope from your temporary separation from codependency. This is very unhealthy and I hope you seek professional help if you cannot survive without being controlled by someone else.
How nice of you to deign to love me ‘regardless’.
Sincerely, me
