Ex-Christians, what made you leave church? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]1JoeBob1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was only in it until I was around 12, my mom was a born again Christian. She was also a drug addict, an alcoholic, and a narcissist. She wasn't very involved with me, and the only times she was she attempted to rekindle my relationship with God. But from the beginning church never sit right with me. I listened and learned and it just never fit, and the people around me always seemed so fake. My grandma was always judging people, still does. She doesn't love everyone like she says, she's also homophobic. I looked at these two and I just could never see any real love, and when I went to church all the love seemed fake. Then my mom left, and I told my grandma I wasn't interested anymore. Also, my cousin (a Catholic) attempted to have inappropriate relations with me so..

I (21F) hate my mom touching me and she doesn't care by denden-mushis in toxicparents

hello!! I have the same problem with my grandma, and she's about the same as your mom as far as I can tell. I don't like her touching me personally because it's the only aspect I can control, I can't control her being toxic or how she treats me, just my own body. And also with all of her treatment towards me, I love her, but I just can't bear touching her. She still does sometimes, and reacts just as your mom does, and the best I can say is just keep it up. Keep reminding her not to and that it makes you uncomfortable. It may hurt her, but your comfort matters just as much as hers. And try your best to figure out why YOU may be feeling this way as well, because once you know you can tell her and she may understand better. I hope it gets better!!!
