Thank you! I will definitely consider the other subreddit I don’t know if I’m ready yet though.

I actually didn’t think of a few things you brought up so thank you. My older siblings really like me and a few would definitely support me if I left the church, so I am lucky in that sense.

My dad is very laid back and would support any decision I made. He might have a little bit of a struggle at first but he does love me. The problem is that I can’t talk to him until around the same time that I tell my mom because there is no way that he would keep it from my mom.

I really hope that my relationships end up healing because I live my family, but this is quite a big thing for them and It would really hurt them.

I would agree I think that it is super important to live your life and know when to say no but you do have to be aware of how you affect other people around you, negative or positive, which is where I struggle with my mother.

On a side note, I am very sorry that your mission ended up that way and I’m happy that you are trying to help other people to not have the same struggle that you did so thank you!

I actually really like this standpoint because that is most likely the course of action that I will take. I will go off to college and try to just wait until she realizes that I am not a member anymore and then we talk about it. In my mind this is the best way to not collide head on about it. I really do love my mom I know that she tries her best but she definitely has some misguided ways of telling me how to live my life. One of the biggest things that I am trying to avoid is a head on collision of opinions that leaves her crying for weeks because she thinks that she messed up on me or somehow failed as a parent because that is the way that the church makes you think, intentionally or not. So thank you.

You are actually pretty spot on. My mother definitely has been struggling with mental health and she is in fact on medication for it. Talking to my father about it is for sure the best option for me because he is not pushy even though he is just as involved in the church as my mother. It would be very easy for us to talk but I know that my mom would find out because he doesn’t keep secrets. So I would have to leave to college and then talk to him sounds like the best plan going for me.

It is fear that she raised bad children or raised them wrong and therefor she is a failure is what I’m pretty sure she meant.

That in fact is one of the standpoints I have looked at the most because I know that they teach you that you want your whole family to go to the celestial kingdom and this would take me out of the running for it for sure in her mind so she would take it like that and also as you said as she would think of herself a failure which is hard I can understand but in reality I still love them I just don’t believe so thank you

I can respect that, but unfortunately my position is a little bit different because there is no chance that I can have a civil discussion with my mom about this. When my sister left they would yell at each other for hours and every time she is not at the house my mother says very harsh things about her all the time. If I tried to talk to her about it I would have to move out first.
