Hey, just a heads up before we start that this is the second episode in a two-part story.

So if you did not hear last week's episode titled Breaking the Oath, you should definitely

do that first.

In that last show, we introduced you to Tasha Adams, who was married to Stuart Rhodes.

He's the guy who started the Oath Keepers, the group primarily responsible for the January

6th attack on the Capitol.

He's currently on trial for seditious conspiracy.

Tasha grew up in a strict Mormon family, and she met Stuart when she was just 18 and

he was 25.

She was a dance instructor in Las Vegas, and he was a military veteran and her student.

At first it felt like this daring romance, but over time, he'd convinced her to do things

she didn't actually want, like drop out of college and put him through school by stripping.

Once they got married, Tasha gave up pursuing a career to support Stuart's.

He graduated from Yale Law School and made decent money, but he'd often spend their income

on stuff for himself instead, leaving Tasha and their six children in poverty.

For years, Tasha and the kids put up with the twist and turns that Stuart forced on them.

They tried to believe him when he said that things would change.

But often, Tasha's only escape was in her daydreams.

What if I had done something differently?

What if I hadn't married someone different and all these kids were someone else?

I would definitely have fantasies about like being with someone who supported me while

I was giving birth or holding my hand or bringing me breakfast once in a while.
