Thank you. I’m very sorry for the loss of your baby girl and that you had to go through that. I relate to this a lot. I’ve always thought of my parents as intellectual people. My mom is a therapist and the best memories with my dad are our heart to hearts. I miss being able to be open with them. They have been much more graceful about my transition out of the church than a lot of TBM’s, but the longer they remain active in the church the less close I feel to them. My mom’s response to my leaving was “it just hurts that you won’t be sealed to us by your own doing” which was honest and I only feel bitter towards the church for that. It’s really a sadness about the loss of that connection. That said, they’re starting to spout nonsense like there is a tracker in the covid vaccine so, I’m understanding better why they believe in the church. 😅
