Gloriavale Survivor – Exposing Abuse & Cult in India, Consequences of Leaving
At just 18 years old, Theo Pratt made the terrifying decision to leave the Gloriavale cult and everything she’d ever known—her family, her home, her entire way of life- absolutely everything she had known since birth.
She was dropped at a bus stop with just a suitcase, $200 cash, and no idea what came next. Then after some heartbreaking final words from her mum and brother, she took her first ever bus into the unknown.
What she has done in the 8 years since then is impressive. She has built a cool life for herself including learning all the life skills we all take for granted- like opening a bank account, getting her first phone and grocery shopping. She has also got a degree, become an occupational therapist, fallen in love and bought a house. Oh, and now writing a book: “Unveiled.” Here’s a link for the book: https://www.mightyape.co.nz/mn/buy/mi…
And she has become a fierce advocate for those still trapped in Gloriavale, like her sister Precious, and those trying to rebuild after leaving. This is a small part of the Theo Pratt story. A revealing look into day-to-day life as a child in Gloriavale, the process of leaving then the unseen struggle of rebuilding.
