Yeah, my sister's the real MVP. She's the firstborn child of the cult, and I say it shows. So she told me I can't go. They're mad at my mom. And I was like heartbroken about that. So later on, I'm going to feed my horses and I'm walking past Trina and Stephen's houses, which is where everyone was gathered. And my friend Scout came outside and she's like, Fran, what are you doing?
Innocently, she's like, come on, we're all having a party. And I was like, okay. So I go up the stairs and I get abused by Stephen Camp, who is the leader. He just screamed at me in front of everyone, told me that I can't be there. I need to go home. And I'm 11 years old. Oh, my God. What kind of... Oh, my God.

Oh, he was a scary, scary guy. I don't even remember, to be honest, what I did after that. It was... pretty traumatizing. So I had moved out of the house because of the guy she was with. So I moved in with my sister for a little while and then I was going to move back. I was told this later, but Paul, her boyfriend, didn't want me to move back in. And so he asked her for a divorce.

I think they felt guilty. Basically, she just lost her whole support system because the women in the family all stopped talking to her. And then the guy that she was doing it for wanted to leave her.

It was rough. I don't blame them for it, but I do think my mom dying did shatter the glass a little. Had people questioning, what the fuck are we doing here? And then I didn't actually leave myself because I was young, but I ended up living with multiple different families, plus my sister. And it just got worse. Once I was living with the cult leader's daughter and they were really sweet.
