When the Lies Become Too Much: Losing a Marriage to Cult Control
Manage episode 447548099 series 3554922
In this heart-wrenching episode of How to Leave a Cult, I share the unraveling of my marriage amidst the powerful grip of cult influence. After the birth of our second child, my husband told me he couldn’t bear the people in the group anymore and decided to leave. I reflect on the pain of this loss, amplified by cult members’ gaslighting—insisting that he was a liar and had never truly loved me. Together, we’ll examine how cults use manipulation to isolate us from genuine love and support, and how I began to piece my life back together while facing profound betrayal and grief. This episode offers insight into the harsh realities of escaping cult influence, even in the deepest parts of personal relationships.
