Liana Shanti Cult Recovery

The reality is that although family and religious cults are “normalized” they are very far from normal, or healthy. We live in the matrix where the mantra is: family above all else. Tragically, this makes it taboo for most people even to question what has gone on in their family life.

Families have the most control and power over your life, and begin programming you from infancy onward. Many families operate as authoritarian structures where there are rewards and punishments, and severe consequences for family members who “step outside” of the dictates of the leader, typically the father or mother. These dysfunctional (but appearing normal) families operate like cults because they dictate your behavior, tell you what religion to follow, how to act, how to dress, where to spend your holidays, who is acceptable to date and marry, and even in adulthood, extend their coercive control by telling you how to raise your own children.

And there are often harsh consequences for making sovereign choices. If you’re wondering at this point if your family operates like a family cult, ask yourself this: If you were to choose to take a Caribbean vacation instead of spending Thanksgiving or Christmas with your family, would there be a problem? Would anyone in your family gaslight you? Make you question your decision? Tell you that you are a terrible and ungrateful daughter? Berate you? Coerce you back into doing what they want you to do?

Ask yourself: If you were raised Catholic and now decided that you despise what that church stands for now that you are an adult and you are now choosing a completely different spiritual path that does not involve any religion, but is purely a personal relationship with Jesus, would your family try to coercively control you back into the church they believe you should believe in?

Ask yourself, if you were to marry a person of a different race, religion, background, or gender than what you family finds acceptable, would they embrace your relationship with open arms, unconditional love and support? Or would you have concerns in disclosing your love because you fear their reaction?

If your family would react to any of those situations with anything other than total support of YOUR life choices, and unconditional love, you have experienced a family cult.

In every family cult there is a leader, typically the father or the mother. This is the person who controls the family narrative and punishes the family members who are not stepping in line with that narrative. This is the person you walk on eggshells around. The parent you aren’t allowed to criticize. The parent it is not safe to be around.
