Wow, there are some trolls here! Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but if you're going to be nasty about it then keep it to yourself. Personally, I'm on Team Cathie. I think she looks great (especially for her age) and I admire her dedication. Like Monk Zymurgy though, I do wonder about her marriage. To answer your query Monk, the corset wouldn't hurt. It looks to be a good quality custom job, and those are very comfortable. I know that because I make them.

You can get out Anonymous2. It's not easy, but have courage and go for it. You may also find counselling helpful, and remember to talk about it with your non-cult friends and family. They love you and they want to help - it will be very hard for them to see you go through this.

A few years ago my partner got out after about a year in the cult. He was subjected to mind control techniques, expected to give the Sallies all his money, and forced to break off all contact with his old friends and family. They even took away his cellphone to try to stop him contacting his friends and family! It was like he just vanished. For months I didn't know where he was or even if he was alive. They had told him he could never see me or talk to me again; if he had a girlfriend she had to be from the Sallies. He had a lot of mental health issues related to the mind control experience and this is why I suggest counselling may be able to help you.

The good news is that now our lives are back to normal and we have moved on. Be brave and God bless!
