23: Elizabeth Tells Us: Part One — Growing Up in a Cult, Purity Culture, Abuse, and Her Sister’s Unsolved Death
Update: 2025-11-23
Description
In Part One of Elizabeth’s story, she opens up about a childhood shaped by a cult-like environment, strict purity culture, and an abusive father. She walks us through the hidden rules, the fear, and the control that defined her upbringing—and how it all set the stage for a deeply painful, messy marriage she didn’t see coming.
Elizabeth also shares the heartbreaking story of her sister’s death at 20 years old—a case that, eight years later, remains unsolved.
Jake and Elizabeth draw unexpected parallels between their lives, including the moment Jake reflects on his own marriage to Elle (Ellen) and the realization that he didn’t truly know the person he had committed to—mirroring Elizabeth’s experience of discovering who her husband really was after the wedding.
This is Part One of a story filled with trauma, resilience, and unanswered questions. Part Two dives even deeper.
