Meet the spouses whose marriages were destroyed by QAnon

A therapist who specializes in cult recovery says he's "never seen anything like this before"

Adam and his wife were always pretty conservative. While she was an "ardent" supporter of Donald Trump, as he described, it wasn't until the November 2020 election — and nearly eight months into the coronavirus pandemic — that he started to get increasingly concerned about how deep her support for Trump ran. She was spending hours on her phone watching videos by pro-Trump conservatives like Dan Bongino and Ben Shapiro.

"I didn't have a problem with that," Adam, whose name has been changed, said in a phone interview. "But then she started to watch a lot of the QAnon conspiracy videos, and started to share those with me."

She would watch these videos until 2 or 3 in the morning, Adam said. He feared she was having a "psychotic break." Previously, she had been on antidepressants. He wondered if a mix of the pandemic and political chaos was driving her to the edge.

Then, one day, she came home and announced: "I'm going to join the militia."

Adam said he's still "emotional" about it, his voice cracking. He said he couldn't believe what he was hearing as his wife repeated QAnon talking points.

1. I am concerned that

with all the intelligence we have in this Country that Q hasn't been named... it is very suspicious that this is still a thing... not that I want to believe in conspiracy (ironic huh) but something is fishy

2. "Q" kinda sounds like The Man in the High Castle character

Except Q wants to destroy the country rather than save it.
Then again, in his sick mind he probably thinks he's saving the country.
Wouldn't be surprised if "Q" turns out to be Roger Stone or Steve Bannon.

4. Just because she/he has not been publicly revealed doesn't mean the appropriate Fed agencies...

do not know the identity of QAnon.
