Ch. 4: It IS True!! Or is it...? Part 2
Either Scott's illness is worse than we thought, or...my inlaws are worse than we thought. Which is it?
Thus far in the timeline, we’re around March 2006. In December 2005, my husband announced to me that his parents were involved in a secret satanic cult, and subjected him to all kinds of strange ceremonies and rituals, along with other family members, and even members of his old neighborhood and community. In early February 2006, he tells me that they are pedophiles, because he remembers things done to him that were so horrible, he refused to let his child anywhere near them. Of course, I’m thinking he has completely lost his mind. But then later the same month, I could no longer ignore that something was clearly wrong, and I felt compelled to hear him out and let him share the things on his heart.
The Quest for Truth
What Scott told me led me on a search for answers, that led me to something called Satanic Ritual Abuse, or SRA. He was telling me that he was essentially a victim of SRA, by his own family, but especially his parents. Everything he described to me, my research turned up. Not only that, but this SRA is also closely associated with the New World Order, the Illuminati, secret “elites” who “really” run the world, secret symbols and meanings behind numbers…all things that his parents were not only quite knowledgeable of, but were part of their world view.
In addition to that, a lot of information led me to those who have concluded that satanic ritual abuse is just one big conspiracy theory.
It didn’t help that Scott has a diagnosed mental illness that can include psychotic features, and at least on one occasion, he shared some of these things with me in the middle of an unmedicated manic episode.
So surely, this was all just a delusion, right?
Not so fast…
