My mom smiling at everyone as we walk into church immediately after she bent me over her knee in the parking lot for saying I didn’t want to go to church.
It just occurred to me that I’m saying the same thing as OP. We were victims of cultists.
The worst part of it, to me, is that the smiling isn’t even a cover, or faked because she’s still remembering what just happened. The child is dismissed from the mind as soon as it complies, and she’s just so happy to see all the friends at church.
