pickI knew nothing about this family going in, but I'm drawn to cultish stories, so here we are.
My main takeaway - why the hell didn't the dad man up and protect his kids?!?
This story is frustrating and sad.
pickI found Shari Franke‘s account of her life and experiences with Ruby Franke —her mother, family vlogger, influencer, and convicted child abuser — to be compelling. I will occasionally watch a video with a cute baby in it; since reading Franke‘s book, I try not to do that anymore. Ruby blamed much of what she did on a woman she worked closely with, Jodi Hildebrandt, but it‘s clear that she was always abusive — Jodi just helped make it worse.

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
It is truly heartbreaking what this mother did to this family all for a blog💔
pick“I will break the cycle…I will trust the children. The child within me and the children I will one day nurture. I will trust in their resilience, their wisdom, their limitless imagination, and their innate capacity for love. I will guide them, but I will also learn from them and will allow their innocence and wonder heal the wounded parts of my soul. Together we will create a new story.”
I have no words. I am so proud of Shari.
“Sometimes family isn‘t just what you‘re born into. It‘s also what you build in the aftermath of loss.”
I thought that, since I‘d watched the documentaries and read the articles, this book wouldn‘t be able to shock me. I am about halfway through it right now. I. Am. Horrified. That woman was a mess long before Jody came into her world. Always cold. Always calculating. Always manipulative.
Those poor children. (And eff that husband, too. Coward).
