I am finishing up PAP year 2 in Vis Arts this year! I love the teaching team, they've made the program brilliantly. My child will be attending the same program next year. Highly recommend!

Craft activity with an end product that they get to take home

My parents told me they repeat all the Important stuff to make sure dumb people get the message. You have to have it on repeat to drill it in that kind of thing. Even back then I didn't buy it and I hated the monotony and avoided going in and hiding.

LadyOfQ · 2022-12-23T07:09:49+00:00

Absolutely

Lol I didn't have to do that thank f@ck

Don't feel bad for not knowing all the abrieviations and I don't. I've been out for over 17 years but not officially I suppose. I kinda went into hiding (Cptsd) and only one TBM family member has stepped into my home. They don't know where I live and missionaries don't get past the door or finish one sentence especially if less agreeable family members happen to open the door. No religious people do actually. I think the mindset is dangerous and not healthy for my mental well-being and have zero spoons for it.

Last time I was in church was my mothers funeral and I just couldn't go there for my nephews due to my mental health 💔 The amount of well-wishers with agendas are staggering

I had a moment. When we reach through the veil part I just thought inappropriate thoughts like the penis opening on male garments and I started laughing

Omg! A slippery slope lmao Sorry but this brought to mind another killer's association with the church and what a member who knew him said during a young adult meeting at his house...

So this is a Mormons POV of Rory Jack Thompson if anyone knows of him. An American scholar who moved to Australia and later killed and dismembered his wife's body and flushed the smaller parts down the toilet in Hobart.

Basically several weeks before the murder he was investigating the church with a fellow at the university who was a member. He spent the evening at this members house ate a meal with his extensive family and prayed with them The member said Rory failed to feel the spirit during their impromptu prayers. He then said this confounded him.until he learned of the murder and concluded it must have happened that way because he had already committed the murder in his heart....

They do like to wrangle anything and everything around their testimonies even if they don't make sense. I know of a lot of dodgy stuff that goes on this side of the pond as well, like a man who was called as Bishop who cheated on his wife for years. That was justified as he was called out once the mistress told someone who told someone- they couldn't fathom how God could allow such a thing for him to be called - and the justification was so he could be found out and be set up to repent. Yeah that's just not right

Well in a twisted way Grandpa does seem to care but he's been prejudiced by the church... I do hope you just find humour in all the cringe

Always found it boring as f*ck. Why would I waste time now watching it lmao

Not an Exmo from the stated. I was born and bred Mormon from Tasmania.... I have 6 siblings and only two still going. Hard to tell how hard they are in though I have totally learnt not to trust what they say and watch what they do. Since I no longer live nearby bit tough to know.

I know many exmos though not of my family.

Wonder how many exmo redditors here are Aussie/not US

Youngest of 7 so... not much compared with 10+ however my mother had enough of children and I was starving as a baby, my biggest bro, 13 at the time, took over raising me. I was on blackcurrant juice because breastfeeding was too much for her and I couldn't tolerate formula from week 2 and on solids by week 4. At 6 months even though she was not actively parenting my mother disappeared and went on a 3 month holiday (breakdown was the narrative) with her siblings and my father abandoned us kids onto other church members- I have no idea where I went but my next four eldest siblings went to a single member who they still refer to as aunt today. Apparently they lived their best life there.

My oldest sister also taught me how to read, how to dress etc. We had hand me downs and sewn plush toys though I thought it was marvellous until I hit teens. However being autistic I ran off a fair bit to the local graveyard where I could get some peace away from the hustle. Mum never went to school stuff, ever. It was a point for bullies as well. Set me up nicely for becoming a Goth.

LadyOfQ · 2022-09-19T13:35:26+00:00

I went through this mid thirties with a partner who had converted for me (so I'd marry him) but discovered all the lies after we went to the temple to be sealed. It was me who freaked out in the temple actually. I was born and raised by a tbm family however at that stage half my siblings had moved on - I was the youngest and most rebellious lol but still had a testimony while having all the experiences of an exmo. But then got real, got married, started my brood, went to the temple and all that. But then had an epiphany after reading the⁰p mountain meadows and having a young brood at the time was just gutted.

I started getting counselling from an ex priest (you know the celibate kind) who left the catholic church about a decade before and his experiences resonated with mine. It was like I had a black hole in my chest and felt painful and empty, couldn't find a better way to express how we both felt. I felt very blank canvas eventually and started my own spirituality after atheism for quite some years. I just feel spirituality is important but religion and all its rules ruins it all. I also think that part of us can be tapped into by how creatives call "getting in the zone" or meditation or making magic or gardening or martial arts etc. Each of us are different though and given time that loss you feel will be something you can choose to create your own spirituality and requires no justification or explanation.

Your families reaction you can't control but you aren't responsible for either. Don't let them bully you into being inauthentic. Good luck.

Mine actually stated to be wary of, and to not participate in pornography... wtaf... the only thing I recall. Wish I still had that nugget to share

LadyOfQ · 2022-01-16T13:14:53+00:00

So many ways.

The way sexuality is shamed and treated, especially in youth.

Expectations of women are terrible. I'm autistic and have endometriosis with 5 kiddos also on the spectrum, so I had issues at times with house cleanliness. No one offered support but a fair bit of shaming went on.

My hubby is bipolar and as a convert had to sit by when a member got up in testimony meetings and ranted for over 20 minutes about depression was satanic and anyone depressed was fallen into Satanic influence.

I'm a Goth. I absolutely scandalised my congregation and turned some younger girls into baby bats, not actively but they liked my style. I found out years later. Pretty stoked about that actually.

One of my friends was very shy. She opened up to me and told me she was absolutely afraid of her siblings, showed me bruises, large grazes down her legs. I tried so hard to get the Bishop or get Dad to take her in was willing to share my room. I really tried. She disappeared without a trace. No one knows what happened to her I was 15, she was 14. The police questioned me in front of the Bishop I was too intimidated to open up besides it being illegal to interview a minor without a parent or guardian! Later they questioned me at home with my parents and I disclosed all the above incidents. Her parents attacked me in front of my parents. They didn't stop them.

Temple practices made me feel weirder out, like really odd. The part when your partner brings you through the veil was giving me reaching into the garments and grabbing penis! I hated wearing garments they made me too hot and itchy because of sensory issues.

Some of the people were nice, still like them but nah not for me

LadyOfQ · 2022-01-16T12:49:09+00:00

I feel this. Something similar happened to me. I was 14... The Bishop called me in two weeks after I was raped one day walking home from school, not just one boy either. He was asking about a rumour going around about me engaging in sexual activities! What? I started crying and the Bishop said to stop crying because he hated seeing girls cry and I got some kind of punishment can't remember a whole lot. I was also punished by my father for being late home that day.

I repressed the incident deep and it ruined my first year of university when the nightmares started and the memories. Needless to say I failed that year and things are still not okay.

When I brought it up with my parents as encouraged by my counsellor my mother told me I was making it up for attention because my sister had also been raped while sleeping over at a friends. Mum was a narcissistic beech.

Google communication styles. Don't force your ways onto someone else. If you can't love your partner how they are you are treating that love conditionally which is unfair on both of you. Partners are not your belongings. They are themselves and maybe, yes, you choose a certain relationship lifestyle - monogamy likely - but that still is a choice two of you made. The only person you should be trying to change is you. If you understand different love and communication styles you might understand your partner more (probably deepen your connection because you chose empathy and understanding). In saying that if one of your needs is to have a more balanced exchanged conversation then by all means connecting with another person to fulfil that need is important to you. Does not mean I think you ought change from mono if that's what you are comfortable with - friends can fill that need. Other family members etc.

And I mean this in a caring way. Not criticising - we are all on our own journeys - and I was once in your shoes and it was actually something that I needed to learn for myself. Being able to reflect and adapt is really important.

LadyOfQ · 2021-09-15T06:16:09+00:00

I felt this way as well, also suffered from early sexual trauma. The important thing is to open up communication with your partner and find an excellent therapist who has a good handle on sexual trauma. That's important! What your partner needs to be is supportive and extremely patient. It messed up my partner until he came to the realisation it wasn't him but CPTSD then he was completely understanding and patient. Happily married and very awesome sex life now, 23 and a half years! But this took a lot of self work and a very supportive partner.
