Mind Control - The BITE Model

My friend juliarandolph gave me this link, and I can't help but be struck by the similarities between being in a cult and being in an abusive relationship.

These mind control techniques are also eerily resonant with the rules & behavior of certain poly families I've seen and heard of.

I understand with my smart brain that it's the individual's choice to live that way. I also hurt with my stupid heart when I think about people I care about who have made such choices.

I can't fix or save anyone or anything, but maybe I can give enough information that someone might read and decide to fix and save him- or her- self.

I'm here for anyone who wants to talk about this. No one deserves to be treated like this. Love Doesn't Hurt.
