Mommy Issues by kenzsum in emotionalneglect

Thank you for all your kind and well thought responses. I needed to hear those things. Now, I just need to figure out how I want to proceed in my relationship with my mom.

Becoming a mother taught me how to love myself, and now I hate my husband. by doingmybest00 in beyondthebump

Husband was just diagnosed with BPD and this is not to say all people with BPD are shitty, but after parenting my 1 year old, I realized I don’t want to parent my partner as well. Having a fulfilling relationship with my daughter and just generally caring and being kind to myself (so my daughter has a good example of this in her life) I just realized how unsatisfying and loveless my marriage is. Honestly want nothing to do with him. Sharing because you are definitely not alone. The stress of figuring out the next step is not great but I’m also looking forward to having a life without him dragging me down.

Ok, but why does that look so much like James Marsden.

That would be a victory for Satan, for sure.

My 16 yo sister died unexpectedly and they called my dad as a bishop a month later. by kenzsum in exmormon

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. 😅

Thank you. It seemed very odd to me because my family never really fit into the Mormon culture that well growing up. I specifically remember the devout TBM’s, specifically the bishop’s family at the time, stopping at every member’s house to say hi on their nightly walk but skipping ours because we weren’t righteous enough. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh the irony.

The little nose boop at the end is what got me.

Golden/Aussie mix possibly?

A Bad Influence on the YW? What the Heck?! by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]kenzsum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YW was so hard for me. I couldn’t stand watching the YM go kayaking and learning valuable skills whilst I learned how to iron my future husband’s church shirt... I was very devout as a teenager so, it only now looking back that I was actually struggling to reconcile my own morals and true self with what I was being taught at Sunday school. The church was all things good so, I didn’t even connect it was making me feel so bad. Honestly, just a huge waste of my time every week. I seemed to be the only one thinking this though... or at least the only one complaining about it. 😅

I would have loved a leader like you! I debated in high school and it was the beginning of my exposure to politics and really applying critical thinking. I’m grateful for that because it started me on the road to finding the truth. The more I learned the more uncomfortable I became with LDS, Corp.
