Brave? Cult?
She had a messed up family, and that's terribly sad. That gave her a warped perspective on people in general, and her community in particular. I hope she finds happiness and peace, but her story is not about honesty - it's about lashing out, and expressing her own pain, and trying to get others to share her own warped view.
Is that her fault? No. But should we applaud her for it? I don't think so. Unhealthy behavior may not be someone's fault, that doesn't mean it's a good thing.
