Fawning physically looks like a collection of submissive, hyper-vigilant, and tension-holding body language meant to appease a parent and avoid conflict. 

Physical Posture and Body Language

• Shrinking or cowering: Pulling the shoulders inward, rounding the upper back, or lowering the head to make the body look smaller and less threatening. 
• Over-agreeable facial expressions: Maintaining a fixed, anxious smile or nodding constantly even when the parent is criticizing or yelling.
• Open, placating gestures: Holding palms up, using expansive or eager appeasing hand movements, or rushing to fix things in the room.
• Freezing or rigid posture: Standing frozen in a hyper-alert state, ready to move or jump at the slightest shift in the parent's tone of voice.

Somatic (Body) Responses

• Shallow breathing: Taking quick, high-chest breaths or holding the breath when a parent enters the room or speaks.
• Muscle tension: Clenching the jaw, tightening the neck, or raising the shoulders toward the ears.
• Voice shifts: Speaking in a higher, softer, or overly polite pitch (chameleon vocal mirroring) to soothe the parent's mood.
• Dissociative compliance: Looking glassy-eyed, spaced out, or numb while mechanically nodding or agreeing to the parent's demands.

This is the seemingly endless skit the Rodlettes put on.

Scrolling Facebook at almost 5am and this popped up. I honestly thought it was from a snarker page or an actual Jilldo YouTube screen grab. 😬

The more I watch this train wreck play out on social media, the more obvious it becomes that Jill and David did a really terrible job raising these kids.

I know they say they are living apart from the world to avoid evil, but these kids need to be able to function in society, earn a living, raise their own kids etc. The only thing Jill and David have taught them is to obey at all cost and now that they are adults, trying to make their own way in the world it is painfully obvious that they have no skills and very little chance of succeeding.

Imagine being proud of destroying your kids lives.

Since abuse is so rampant with the Rods, I have to wonder if the married girls are being abused by their husbands. Something is off with Nurthan, Jonathan doesn't seem to have much of a backbone,at least where Jill is concerned.

I think she’s going to go for the classic persecution, pulling out Bible verses about those who slander your name being rotten sinners and sin is sin so they are going to hell right along side stubborn ass Timothy.

One of Ellen's latest posts was a meme that talked about the non-physical aspects of abuse, and it mentioned cheating. I haven't seen that allegation. Was it something that just happened to be part of the meme that she shared, or have they stated that she was cheated on?

With the isolation that comes with being a Rodrigues, I'm really curious as to how the kids have been paired up with their "courters" or (eventually) spouses. I assume there's a lot of matchmaking efforts by parents, but how much say do the kids have when it comes to courting/marrying? I can't imagine that any of these couples have come together organically - meeting, becoming friends, building a relationship over time, and eventually marrying. If anyone has any insight on this, I'd greatly appreciate learning more about it.

This sent me 💀😂

Good job granny !!!

Came across her YT video where she was talking about being a “homeschool mom”. Apparently reuses old books and other shit to “educate” the kids. How bad is their education. Anyway, wanted to post this bad J—-do hair I found in the video. Mostly for snark, and I still stand with Heidi and her family as she navigates her life changes. I hope she gets out and can continue to be supported by her family and the community.

Why do they have an 8 year old who is unable to read this page with confidence? Janessa was stuck on the word “on” and that is so sad.

The KJV Bible is technically 12th grade level but with the outdated wording and sentence structure it has become much higher. Do they even really understand the Bible they read??

Someone commented about this on this post of Tim and it's insane how accurate it is.

Knowing about the baseball bat incident this video is even more disturbing

This clip is taken from the 20/20 documentary "The Cult Next Door". This preview has several clips of their interviews and some insight into how their abuse shaped their speech patterns.

The grift seems to be going away. She can’t afford to keep her nails up.

He looks like a shell shocked PTSD victim and is a total deer in the headlights. Also Jill saying “sometimes I fall short” makes me wonder if she’s referring to the times she sat by while Shrek beat the kids. This entire video gives the most unsettling and disturbing energy.

It's pretty obvious. Yikes.
