    This was so sad, but has such hope. The way cults prey on the basic psychological needs of others is so manipulative, dangerous, and heartbreaking. I hope her mom sees this and her heart is softened.

    I’ve known Tracy for a decade now. It’s been an honor to watch her grow. You’re an amazing woman, Tracy. I hope someday your mom can have the sight to actually see you. She’d be amazed at who you are.

    Could you imagine is they offered cult awareness in high school. Imagine the fit people would have!

      Ah! This is interesting! How do you define a cult when the line between cult and religion (or any ideology) is so blurred?

      The line isnt blurred. All religions are cults at some point.

    She's a very impactful speaker and a brave woman. I'm sorry that her mother is lost to her 🥲 She reminds a bit of the actress Jodie Foster

    "She gained recognition, but lost her vision" and her daughter! So sad really. Glad Tracy is standing for rights and understanding.

    Ex- Jehovah's Witness here after nearly 40 years in the cult.
    Parents shunned me when I resigned for 3 years until mum got cancer, now they contact me but it's awkward.

    Man this is sad….. when Jesus came to the earth and He healed the sick and ate with sinners. Only follow someone if you can look at the Word of God and see that they are following Christ.

    Many single mothers choose their new partners over their own children, no brainwashing necessary. In her case, her mother chose the cult and the new husband over her. Abandon all hope, just move on.
