Lauren Hough actually talked about that a lot in her memoir about the children of god cult and how they preyed on lonely disallusioned college age people. its one of the things i really liked about her book was how she treated the people who joined with like grace really. even though she went through a lot because of literally being born in it. that if you're lonely or depressed and these people come along and offer you unconditional love and then a cause and how good it feels. she also talks about how a lot of women then get trapped because now you have kids and literally what are you going to do now? Sorry I got kind of obsessed with cults for ahile and that was probably my favorite book about them because she talks a lot about the effects later on.
