29. Having lost a cousin because her "ideal home"

Mon Jul 17, 2023, 03:23 PM

Jul 2023

Sent her to a religious camp in the late 70s/early 80s.

From there as a 16 year old went on a mission trip to Mexico with her caretakers and never returned. Some of the Q'Anon themes are a complete crock but there is a very scary and FAMILIAR element to them to some people like me.

Some of you really hurt the problem by talking about things you have no experience with!
