Fuck, this one's sad. I was expecting it to be in response to something external, but this one's just a glimpse into the pain present in a culture of systematic spiritual abuse and neglect
Kid gets homeschooled by MAGA Evangelical parents, and she never gets the help she increasingly needs as she becomes a QAnon-believing adult who experiences deeply unpleasant auditory hallucinations. However much that would suck on its own, she seemed (as so many Evangelicals do) to experience it as demonic rather than a disorder. Meanwhile, she's uploading Q-flavored videos to YouTube that sound like she was experiencing both delusions of grandeur and delusions of a conspiracy against her
CW extra suicide
So she tells her mom that she can't do it anymore, and her mom decides to join her. They tell her dad, and he decides to join the pact
We live in a country where basic healthcare is either seen as potentially bankrupting or full of demon spirits, and the logical alternative is… suicide
Honestly one of the key benefits no one realizes about a school system that's linked in with health services via school nurses is to signal for this kind of shit. Schizophrenia and most other mental illnesses most commonly start occurring between the start of puberty and early 30s and so there's a chance to catch this stuff while they are still teenagers (sadly seems she and her family were exceedingly ill equipped to deal with this type of situation).
