Survivors of high-control religion are often accused of being "brainwashed" when they question the group. This is a common tactic to instill self-doubt in the survivor and attempt to get them to remain in the group.

Something people outside the religious right may not realize is that many apostates aren’t shocked, just horrified, by the political climate. They grew up hearing that their role as Christians was to "take back" the government and dismantle church-state separation. Here's how: (con)

Friendly reminder that deconstruction often brings a blend of joy and grief. It's completely normal to miss parts of your old life while embracing your new one. #religioustrauma

I will never understand parents who spew anti-trans rhetoric and then are surprised when their transgender adult child does not want a relationship with them

Canon event for emotional abuse survivors: Googles "Am I a narcissist?" *sees 15 pieces of evidence they aren't a narcissist* *sees one clickbait article that says narcissists walk fast or some other random innocuous behavior* "Yep, that's it, that's the proof, I am a narcissist" #emotionalabuse

Humans seek the familiar. It is no surprise that families with control issues and high-control religion often go hand in hand.

Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.

"You're so mature for your age." "Thanks, I was the eldest daughter in a conservative homeschooling family." ☠️

Morning coffee thoughts: Stalking is still stalking, even when it’s a parent stalking their adult child. No one, regardless of their title or past relationship to you, has the right to invade your space or make you feel unsafe. #adultchildrenofemotionallyimmatureparents #religioustrauma

Hello, BlueSky! I was raised in the conservative Christian homeschooling movement (homeschooled preK-12), left when I was twenty, and am now a religious trauma therapist. I'm passionate about educating others on emotional abuse and manipulation: both prevention and recovery. #religioustrauma

It needs to be said: Groomers are overwhelmingly white men in their 30s, often married, more religious than average, with no criminal record, and working in roles that give them access to children. Transgender people are being used as a scapegoat to distract from this reality.

Part 1 of the series on Recognizing Grooming. I’ve seen firsthand the devastating effects of grooming both in my own life and in the lives of clients. I am passionate about pointing out the patterns and building awareness. Remember: abuse is never your fault! youtu.be/Roop-FUs_UE?...

Predators are poisoned chips. A thread. Predators often seek roles that grant them automatic legitimacy: teachers, coaches, youth leaders, pastors. Many people in these roles are trustworthy and sincere, which makes it easy for predators to blend in. (Con.)

I'm a therapist on a mission to educate survivors of high-control religion about grooming and abuse. Information is just one piece of prevention- no matter how much knowledge you have, abuse is NEVER your fault. But I'll be damned if I'm not going to share the bits and pieces I can.

For those arguing against homeschooling regulations because 'neglect and abuse are just fringe cases' & ‘we shouldn’t punish the masses because of the outliers’: r/HomeschoolRecovery has twice as many members than r/Homeschooling. Let that sink in.

Photo of Reddit: r/HomeschoolRecovery has 29.7 members, r/homeschooling has 14.6 members.
