I have watched every episode, and some several times, of Leah’s series on A&E. THANK YOU! Shining light on the machinations of Miscavige on the Internet for the world to see will finally blow his house of cards to bits, and hopefully, to the doorstep of the IRS.

My fascination is personal: I am the middle child of a mother who was diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline tendencies. Not a malignant narcissist like Miscavige, but one nonetheless. It is a spectrum disorder. Always feeling my mother was “off”, she was interestingly diagnosed by my my sister who got a degree in therapy, her third career paid for by my mother. This was 15 years ago. My sister was her admitted “supply source” (slave, minion, lackey, constant companion, etc.) and turned out to be a narcissist as well. Funny but sadly, true.

Through this, I became very enlightened and educated about the disorder in my mid 30’s. I am 63 now. I lived with two individuals who shared a language, a set of behaviors that I did not adopt or embrace because I was learning as a young adult to become my own person with my own thoughts and goals for my future. I was learning to be a normal, mature human being.

My sister learned the language of narcissism and was never EVER able to be a normal, loving, empathetic, imperfect, human being. Insecurity, fragile ego, prone to projection, inability to laugh at themselves, have any kind of sense of humor about the foibles of being human, and more describe a narcissist. “Conditional” was the operative word: these are my conditions: do as I say, or there’s the door and you get no dinner. And never, ever, did I hear “I’m sorry.” EVER. Empathy being the most basic of human characteristics was missing. Normal emotions are absent, or if they are, they are learned and practiced to fake it.

I was subjected to a lifetime of lies, secrecy, projection, gas-lighting, denigrating communication, pretense, undermining, entitlement, demotion within the family unit, and finally, discardment (Suppressive person…lol). When I did not please my mother, or questioned her authority, or expressed an independent thought, she would go no contact – for months, for years – as her way of punishing me. Finally, I was discarded for life and disinherited, and my sister did the same (no communication) after my mother passed. I had an older brother whom she disinherited along with me because as mature individuals who live independent lives, we were of no use or service to her. My sister stayed her slave and got it all and I am a suppressive person and I have no use for her. I could speak the truth to my sister, show her the email where she wrote something, and she’d deny it.

They do not feel “shame”, they do not “see” the writing on the walls, and are unable to “listen” to reason. The only way I could live with it all was to make fun of the hypocrisy. My sense of humor saved me and allowed me to heal and be able to look back at it without feeling the pain.

The work you, Leah, and all the others who are recording the abuses for the world to see will be the downfall of Miscavige.

Hopefully in your lifetime, Mike, those who are disconnected from their loved ones will be able to establish relationships again. If not, at least those who are not so deeply entrenched will find strength to leave this so called church and save their souls, loved ones, and their bank accounts.

Thank you for all you are doing. Nothing like a convert who has seen the light of day. God bless you!

A big supporter!

Oops !! Correct spelling Hubbard
Lol

Yes .Ann ..you are right..the “real” Hubbert being revealed would take several episodes to be sure..
Hopefully then wake up a few still in the “church”

Corey I would love to see this addressed on Aftermath as well. There’s so much there, I’m just now grasping it. Assuredly evil intent on lrh’s part. And I’m not using that word lightly.
