I am so sorry to hear about this nightmare .
Have you tried any of the Programs that help families get there kids out of cults ?
The west coast of FL has a few groups dedicated to this issue thanks to the Scientologists taking over downtown Clearwater .
Most places never check.
As an example. About eight months ago, she called (we live in the south she is in the north) about 11pm, hysterical. He chased her into a bedroom with his hockey stick. She got in and locked the door and pushed a dresser against the door. He continued to bang on the door trying to break it down with the stick. She was terrified, called me. I demanded she call the police and she did although she was scared as to what it would do to her marriage. , I stayed on the phone . When they arrived, she grabbed her two kids and escaped downstairs. The psycho refused to come downstairs, stayed at the top talking to the police and pretended he was asleep and she went crazy, he had no idea what she was talking about. The police made one of them leave for the night, he refused. So she left and went to a hotel with the kids. At 4am the front desk called her room and said there was a man there looking for her. He had been looking through curtains and the security guard caught him. He told them he had to have the car seat in her car for the kids in the morning…………she went back the next day to “try and work things out”. I called the police department captain and I was furious that the police didn’t believe her, that she had to leave etc. said there was no sign anything had happened at the house. I asked if they looked at the bedroom door that was destroyed and he said they were not allowed to enter the house. So there you go. It is an insane story. So when I see this video of Gabby Petito, I see my daughter because that is exactly what she would do, cover for him and take the blame.
