Shame and Submission: Life in My Cult-Arranged Relationship

Send us a text

In this episode of "How to Leave a Cult," I share the harrowing experience of navigating my arranged relationship within the cult. Not only was I responsible for teaching him the "law of the land" and dictating our living situations, but we also faced constant emotional torment due to false accusations. The cult's leadership would tear us down emotionally, using shame as a weapon to maintain control.

Adding to the turmoil, we were forced to divulge our sexual pasts to prove our purity, a humiliating process that further stripped us of our dignity and autonomy. This episode explores the dark intersection of control, shame, and manipulation, revealing how cults use relationships to dominate and break down their members. Join me for an eye-opening look at the crushing weight of life under a cult’s rule.
