Trigger warning

In Chapter 2 I will be going over child and domestic abuse. I will treat these topics sensitivity and when not go into detail for the sake of the survivors. If this isn't something you are in the headspace for I understand and hope you catch me in the next series.

Always the Outsider

Oneida Community

Before we get started, I want to give a quick content warning.
This series discusses sexual abuse, including the abuse of minors. I'll be handling these topics carefully and without graphic detail, out of respect for survivors. If this isn't something you're in the headspace for right now, I completely understand, and I hope you'll join me for the next series.

The everything and the kitchen sink of cults!
