A Quote by Sarah Edmondson
One of the things that can be helpful in terms of an explanation is to look at the ways in which cults are similar to abusive relationships.

Yeah, letting go - even just musically, aside from emotionally - I find that quite challenging. Knowing the right time for letting go of my album, for instance, was a really big challenge. Knowing when to put the red flags up and say, "It's done..." And also, emotionally, with relationships.
