"The Extra Child" explores the painful journey of Mattie, who found himself thrust into the role of the family's new scapegoat, enduring the cruel and unjust treatment from his own father.
Joining Mattie in this compelling narrative are his two sisters, Ashleigh and Jen, who provide essential insight into their shared experiences growing up in the shadow of their father's religious cult. Together, they share their memories, revealing the complex dynamics that engulfed their family, leaving them scarred and searching for answers.
As we journey through their recollections, we uncover the layers of manipulation, control, and emotional abuse that permeated their lives. The episode sheds light on the psychological toll this family cult took on its youngest member, Mattie, as he grappled with isolation and mistreatment.
"The Extra Child" explores the complex dynamics within their family and the challenges they encountered along the way.
