Question Everything
Being assigned a spouse and having your beliefs dictated to you is a surefire way to make you feel like a prisoner in your own life. Unsurprisingly, many former cult members struggle with their identity and sense of self after leaving. But it’s amazing to see that this person could break free.

It’s a reminder that no matter how much control someone tries to exert over you, you always have the power to think for yourself and make your own decisions. Recognizing the warning signs of cults and speaking out against them can stop people from falling into their traps. Three cheers for independent thinking!
