About This Site
I want this website to be for and by Survivors of Cults and High Demand Groups, family, and friends
If it takes off, I don’t mind changing or pointing the site's name to another domain name.
I want it to be a tool for those of us who have left and need/want to support, education, and tools for recovery. Also, for those who want to be of support.

My Mini NXIVM History
I left NXIVM in 2009, but it wasn't until almost two decades, in 2017, it burned to the ground.
Earlier, the NYS AG was working with us. They collected a lot of frickin info from us & poof; they were gone.
I was sued by NXIVM, filing over 200 fake claims against me
I won their bogus lawsuit against me, representing myself against seven of their lawyers.
I have lots of battle scars from being in the NXIVM Cult and the battle to take them down after leaving.
