Cranky

I dislike this show because I think reality TV is idiotic and because it strikes me as disgustingly abusive to turn kids into sideshow attractions (not like their life would have been normal anyway, I guess), but this article came up when I was looking for something else and I’m really happy for this girl to have gotten out and to be healing from that. This family’s show treated this cult shit like it was normal and I think that does incredible harm to a lot of people in a lot of ways, but the fact that this woman can now use her visibility to show that it’s possible to leave that and become relatively well-adjusted can do a lot of good, too. I think that’s really impressive and she should be proud of that.
