Your mentioning religious sects reminded me of something. I read some writings and posts by women who had succumbed to CDD a few years ago and their mindset was disturbing. They obviously thought very little of themselves and felt they deserved to be punished by the men in their lives. They wanted the same kind of relationships for their children when they grew up as well. One woman praised her grown son for being what most people would consider controlling and verbally abusive to his girlfriend. Of course, this was the example that had been set for him. She also discussed dreading the beating she knew she would have to accept because the house was messy. Simply disturbed. People like this need help.
