A couple weeks ago we published an episode featuring Ashleigh Teeter, who was ostracized from her family because of her cult leader father. Today we feature her youngest brother's story of growing up in that house long after Ashleigh was gone. 14 years her junior, Mattie was just a young boy when her sister was deemed demonic by his father. And for almost 25 years the siblings never spoke to each other. Today we welcome Mattie to share his heartbreaking story... a boy who was never allowed to talk to a girl without brutal consequences.

Today, Mattie and Ashleigh are not only reunited but they host a podcast about their upbringing together. It's called "The Cult Next Door" and is available wherever you get your podcasts.
