TIL my childhood friend's family was in a cult and they didn't even know it until 2022

I was talking to my buddy Mark last weekend (we grew up together in a small town in Ohio) and he dropped this bomb on me. Turns out his parents were part of this group called The Fellowship of the Light or something like that. He said they just thought it was a church with strict rules until some documentary came out about them after a court case in 2021. The thing that hit me different was how normal their life looked from the outside. They had barbecues, went to school plays, everything. But inside they were being told to cut off family if they left. Mark said his mom still cries about her sister who won't talk to her. Has anyone else found out years later that someone you knew was wrapped up in something like this? How do you even process that?
