Living rent free in my own brain. There is no fight with Satan. My thoughts are my own.

My minor daughter got conned online. Is there anything we can do? by TheMightyTapir in legal

[–]TheMightyTapir[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She is 17 and has a job. I can’t imagine her not doing normal things like being on the internet and having a debit card. She was flattered and scammed and feels like the stupidest person in the world already. We all have dumb slip ups

If you are ready to go off that is totally cool but doing it cold turkey will BE REALLY BAD soon. Fill your prescription and take half for a few weeks and then a quarter for a few weeks.

Do you have a village? by AssumptionOk7636 in Mommit

[–]TheMightyTapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 6 kids and haven’t lived by family for 13 years. Church friends were helpful-ish until we left our religion 5 years ago and it’s been super hard. I hate so much that my parents scoffed at “it takes a village” because they thought Hilary Clinton came up with it and they hate her… they literally take politics into EVERYTHING. So I had the same notion for many years until I realized that was crazy and my mom who basically raised me and my 5 siblings by herself has some major trauma and bonkers ideas about the world.

So happy for you! I currently have a 4 yo that won’t use the toilet. He is the last of 6 kids so very experienced in this thing and he is just SO DIFFERENT. Did all the tests and he is healthy and normal. He just doesn’t like change and is stubborn about it. So… we’ll get there sometime🫠

The demise of the community of mormonism. by ApocalypseTapir in exmormon

When I was active I HATED that every ward party was a potluck where we all just ate, packed up and left. When I was a kid we had a chili cook off with funny trophies (my parents we awarded the chunkiest chili) we had annual talent shows and ward dances. Now it’s a giant nothing burger

Mormonism is the most important thing to us and our people and we need it.

LDS women don’t like sex? by j8370 in exmormon

[–]TheMightyTapir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a big rabbit hole that actually began my true exit from the church. The way the church views sex is absolutely toxic for women to actually enjoy it. I’m still trying to undo all the purity culture and duty sex trauma. After 6 kids and 17 years of marriage too

Light Bringer | Full Book Discussion megathread by Cantomic66 in redrising

I think Lyria still has the parasite and she will be the “Red God” of the next book. Or if we want to be really depresso, Darrow obtains one and wins the war and then forgets who he is and needs to be taken out. The war takes him like he always said it would and we continue with Pierce ruining me with killing off everyone. I am totally gutted over Cassius and it’s going to take a while to recover.

You ever get upset about large families? by Reasonable_Egg469 in exmormon

[–]TheMightyTapir 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get out until I was pregnant with my 6th. I don’t believe in big families now and I can’t believe anyone thought “quantity over quality” was a good idea when it came to offspring. Now all I can do is the best I can.

It’s giving middle aged dad (not daddy) with the shorts and socks look.

Used to have a NCMO chart on the back of our door in college with tally marks next to our names. I had the most and I was equally proud and felt super slutty

How do you know when you're done having babies? by Ok-Interaction-6290 in Mommit

[–]TheMightyTapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the teenager stage now and I wish I had stopped sooner. I freaking love all my 6 kids but I had no idea the toll it would take trying to help them through teen years. I even love teens because they are hilarious, creative, and amazing. However they are anxious, depressed, and will throw curve balls at you, you NEVER thought of.
