The hiking scene is what solidified the fact that Samuel Bateman was about a 5th or 6th grade boy mentality

Sam did fight for custody. At the hearing, the judge asked Sam if it was true that he wanted to marry his daughter. Sam's answer was "she belongs to me, but only from the waist up"<br>Lydia was granted full custody that day. Sam was also given a restraining order so he couldn't contact his daughter.

Katheryn, you don't need to tell us your story. Only do it if you want to for yourself not for everyone in the comments.

It was brilliant to hear Kathryn's insight, you always learn so much more from people who directly knew those involved. I hope to hear more from her - but no pressure! You don't owe anyone your story ❤

Lydia is my sister. Sam was off from day one of their marriage. I don’t know if the accident where he got a brain injury really made him worse, but it couldn’t have helped.

Grateful you were able to let us hear her story. But so sorry she was a victim. Thank you for the important work you both do. And thank you to her for sharing her story. ❤

It makes me so sad that Sam cant have anything to do with his mom.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ItsUPfr54k&t=1372">22:52</a> This is what never made sense to me, even when I was completely brainwashed in the cult.. If you sin and repent, you're better than if you had never sinned at all. I remember as an 11 year old wondering how that made sense to them.
