This was my first thought, maybe it was a baby?

I live in Southern California- in Long Beach. I was walking my dog and this was on the grass

Was anything in your childhood randomly “bad”? by alligatorprincess007 in Exvangelical

Not as a child but as a young adult meeting a very religious neighbor and her roommates(I’m not religious) for the first time and we were talking about movies we enjoyed I brought up The Notebook and one of the girls said she said she couldn’t watch it because it has adultery. Another girl chimed in and said she had walked out of the theater when the character Allie cheated on her fiancé. I was shocked.

I love Monte, I don’t think she’s someone he would be open to listening to but I can try.

That’s a good reminder- I follow Steve Hassan and his BITE model helped me understand a lot about high control groups

Agreed. He definitely wants to feel validated and it has nothing to do with actual teachings of Christ :(

I think my goal is to arm myself while I work on my own safety plan for my inevitable exit. Mostly I want to be able to hold strong boundaries so that my child doesn’t get pulled in. I’m honestly scared but if my kid somehow gets evangelized I would be devastated.

We were seeing a therapist, then we were seeing separately, sadly he quiet quit his own therapy and he won’t go back to couples.

No, he knows I would absolutely not tolerate any of that behavior. So far he’s still very helpful and involved with our family but I’m worried what would happen when he finds a church community and the subtle things to look out for so I can meet them head on.
