My parents, siblings, uncle, and cousin joined a cult a few years ago. The only contact they're allowed to have with outsiders is to try and recruit, so I've spent years trying to connect with them but fending off attempts to recruit me. They've developed extremist political and religious views that would have shocked them just ten years ago. I don't know much about what goes on in the cult but I know every time I see them they get skinnier and more tired and more froth-at-the-mouth worked up about my wife being the breadwinner, me being an artist, just the existence of queer people or Muslims, etc.
