Once upon a time I was raised in a cult but I didn't just escape it, I escaped it TWICE. [Cult]ure Shock is usually a place for other ex-cult kids to share their own stories but today I'M IN THE HOT SEAT. You may have heard some of my story before but no one’s ever heard it all until THIS crossover episode today I’ve waited months to share. Merch is the BEST WAY to support my videos and this channel. Your selfless support means THE ABSOLUTE WORLD to me!!
