Heh. Well, let's see, I grew up in a family with multiple pedophiles, a possible murder or suicide (it was never clear which and happened loooong before I was born), multiple teen pregnancies, and a cousin who died before thirty from blood poisoning. (RIP buddy. Never expected to survive you.) And that's just the parts I KNOW about.

Me, I'm a certified loony who managed to get free of all that by burning my bridges and becoming homeless, then scraped my way up to my current welfare queen existence making mental health comics and writing speculative fiction.

Oh, and I've talked to two little tin cult leaders from my online community who were terrible people. The more famous one was Neo. Thankfully, I must not have interested them, because I know I would've been EXTREMELY susceptible to them at the time.

So yeah I think I've had an interesting go of things.

Oh wow. Glad you've gotten through (and hopefully away from) all of that.

I have a weird fascination with cults, but I don't think I've ever come across one irl (or even personally online). As far as I know, my area isn't well known for fringe religious sects or anything.

Yes, thank god. I still get passive-aggressive emails from one of them, but I'm pretty okay. I feel really bad for my little brother who's still stuck there; I suspect he has a lot more going on under the surface than I know, and wish I could help him, but... well, after the last fight, I had to go. I just hope he manages to find something better, you know?

Yeah, my subculture online has a MASSIVE cult problem. They all revolve around fandom--channeling characters and persuading other folks they're involved in big astral battles for reality and such. *shudder* It's one of those things where everyone knows about it but nobody talks about it, and so I've been researching and learning to try and make a big series of posts and stuff about it, to try and warn folks away. (Especially since Neo left his archives open to the public and seems to be gone, so I can do an easy run-down of him without risking much.)

Yeeeeeesh, LB. You really have had an interesting go of things. I'm glad you're away from that situation.

Yeah. At least I can say with all honesty that my life has never been dull. And I'm glad I'm away too.
