Gloriavale mother limits contact with daughter, ‘trying to undermine my faith’

By Ryan Boswell | 1News Reporter |

A Gloriavale mother of 12 has limited contact with one child because she’s trying to “undermine my children and my faith and what I stand for”.

Hannah Patience Standtrue was asked about the evidence given by her daughter Rose Standtrue at an Employment Court hearing, which will decide whether six former members were employees or volunteers.

Rose Standtrue left the West Coast commune in 2021 and is one of the plaintiffs. She said she wanted to commit suicide “because I was really depressed and had anxiety and PTSD, and I felt like that was the only way out of Gloriavale”.
