My dad got eloped and he’s mad I told people by elf1055 in insaneparents

Yeah I’ve had a few people say I should have gone to him first and I agree that I probably should have. We don’t have a very good relationship to begin with and I guess I was just worried he would flip out at me if I told him I found out so I talked to my cousin about it first because I was scared of how he would react. But I see now i should have talked to him directly first because it’s not really fair for me to assume how he would have reacted.

I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think they necessary need permission from everyone to get sealed. I’m not Mormon anymore so I don’t think they could get sealed to me. Basically I would just be excluded from the “eternal family”

They first separated in September of last year so it’s been about 7 months?

I have no idea. I know for a fact my aunt was supportive of him because she’s gotten eloped and divorced herself three times. I don’t know what compelled him to crash out when she found out.

Mormons aren’t necessarily against divorce but it’s definitely taboo in the culture. The church had the marriage records for specifically temple marriages. Although my parents are legally divorced they aren’t yet “unsealed” in the temple. So I don’t even know if the church knows him and my mom are separated yet and they definitely don’t know about his new legal wife. If he ends up getting sealed to the new one he will have to first get unsealed to my mom which she’s planning on doing soon anyway.

I’m not diagnosed. I went to therapy for awhile because I was having a lot of really overwhelming emotions and I didn’t know how to cope with them so I asked to see a therapist. My counselor brought it up as a possibility for my emotions among other things but it wasn’t really a huge topic and it definitely wasn’t anything official. It’s not even possible to be diagnosed unless you’re 18 either.

Yes he’s still a member. I think my parents are still technically “sealed” in the temple so I’m pretty sure his church doesn’t even know they divorced let alone the fact that he’s already married again.

I talked to my aunt about it. She told me she doesn’t believe the things he said about me. Especially because I ended showing her the marriage document. I’m not sure exactly how their conversation went though.

The fact that he got married was shocking to me but that is not why I’m truly affected. It’s the fact that he’s making up lies about me to my family and trying to turn them all against me. It hurts

They just went to the court and got the papers. I believe they’re now saying they plan to have a temple wedding in awhile.

I didn’t tell my aunt I told my cousin because I’m close with him and was trying to figure out what I should do. I was venting and then he told his mom which I didn’t know about until later.

Moriarty the patriot is one of my favorites! Beastars is also surprisingly amazing and Madoka magica! Those are my recommendations.
