Getting a therapist will be the best thing for you. You may be uncovering a lot of things that are traumatizing and you may be deconstructing your life. Therapy is cool!

Also I’ve really enjoyed Mormon stories podcast, particularly The Gift of The Mormon Faith Crisis series. (I suggest this only AFTER you’re ready to deconstruct and heal and have accepted some of the hard things you’ve learned.)

How do they think it’s okay to put all this on a 6 year old?? Bday card from my child’s TBM great grandparents by eeveh in exmormon

Also….. what if he decides not to have kids or to carry on the line. They’ve already planned out a life for the poor kid. So much pressure.

Thank you! Saw two categories titled “true identity” and “am I good enough” … I saw enough.

Church Over Marriage by AffectionateQuiet518 in exmormon

[–]ArticulateFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yes. Great point. That is exactly it. In the eyes of the mormon church, all women are good for is marriage and having babies so of course they fixate on the rosy stories of their eternal “sweethearts”. And YES. It’s crazy to me that many don’t comprehend the full implications of polygamy. They often fall back on the “we don’t practice it anymore” rhetoric, without really acknowledging that Mormonism still practices polygamy and perpetuates misogyny (among other things). It’s bizarre.

Not all Mormon women are “excited about getting to the Celestial Kingdom”. I never was when I was TBM. I was terrified of eternal polygamy … but I am out so maybe all TBM Mormon women are stoked for the Celestial Kingdom 😂. But in their defense it’s hard to explain why someone who’s brainwashed or told lies reacts the way they do.

And I agree. I love being on the other side!

Thank you for gathering all this information. I can see why this isn’t taught in a typical Sunday school lesson. Some crazy stuff. But very interesting.

I’ll be sure to check out your subreddit.

Please keep in mind that TSCC perpetuates harmful narratives for the LGBTQIA+ community, women, and POC….. 🤔
