I just got pissed off about how delusional they are to worship a pedophile, but then again, I used to sing praises of a pedophile. Was I delusional? Yeah, that meets the definition of the word, delusional.
My partner said, "How do you REALLY feel?"
I said, triggered. Go ahead and turn it.
She said, yeah, we don't need you getting all angry.
I agreed and she pulled up something far more romantic.

You were deceived, used, and mentally abused. Not your fault.

We all were.

I guess what triggered me the most was listening to the exFLDS woman describe the fear she had instilled in her that she'd turn into a diseased whore out on the streets without out there in the evil world.
It was a similar fear we had instilled in us about what we'd become in absence of our faith community.

Having her own Mom tell her she'd rather have all of her kids buried 6ft deep than have one of them turn on the prophet, reminded me of my Nazi TBM MIL tell me having us leave the MORmON Crutch made her cry worse than when she lost her husband to throat cancer from Agent Orange in Nam.
I told her that was just her ego talking. She just wanted to brag about what a great Molly MORmON family she had, when it was all a big pyramid scheme, patriarchal caste system that enabled rampant sexual abuse.
That went over like a lead balloon.

I think I saw this program before, too, but it may have been on 48 hours or 20/20. I fell asleep and didn't get to watch all of it.

The thing that really made me sick about this story is when she was married to Rulon and he still wanted his young wives to have sex with him. I can't even begin to imagine.
