Children raised by conspiracy theorist parents

10 replies

Does anyone know if there is some sort of support resource for children who have grown up with parents who are conspiracy theorists?

I've searched online and it comes up with a load of Reddit sub forums which might be alright, but can't find anything else.

I'd like to help a young man who has been cut off by his parents over Covid vaccine.

Anyone with experience regarding conspiracy theory parents around?

I'd imagine anyone who has been cut off by their family for their own belief system will have the same emotional experiences and advice. Perhaps searching more broadly will help what with the pandemic being a more recent thing.

Thank you don't know how you got that article because I've been tapping all sorts into Google to no avail!

I'd like him to know he's not the only one basically, and to perhaps find some way so he can therapeutically talk to others who have lived through the same experience.

Yes it's true, any child who's parents are a member of a cult will have had a similar/comparable upbringing, but unravelling the specific shit that's been put in his head all his childhood (lizard people VS human mammal people, chem trails etc) really takes some doing.

It'd be amazing if a charity or something was out there to help children of conspiracy theory parents.
