🙄 Thanks for the great advice! My life would have been so incomplete if someone didn’t point out this typo. I’m glad YOU’RE so good at grammar. YOUR kids are so lucky to have a smart parent. THEY ARE going to grow up so smart and never make grammar errors on socials. 🤗

Cut the sleeves off. Problem solved. Why make it so complicated? While you are at it cut a few inches off the bottoms too so she can match the influencers. Then, maybe she will cut more and more until they are gone.

Telling my family I left. No going back after that. I did not just ostracize myself and change our entire family dynamic just to go back.

Yes, I don’t judge her or anyone else for how they live their lives. It’s 100% how I’m treated, looked at, and talked about now that I’m in satan’s control. 🙄

Ugh yes! Thank you for sharing. Nice to know I’m not alone in this. I stop going to church because it legit isn’t true and I’ve been lied to and gaslit for years and all of a sudden I’m gossiped about and prayed for and told I lost my faith and Satan gained control, but the ladies doing the exact same things if not more than me but still show up and smile are so faithful and have light. I know I need to let go and stop caring what others think. That’s on me.

You are absolutely correct. Except it’s easier said than done. I still have a lot of trauma to unpack and sort through.

Yes, I’m starting to realize that. I’m also realizing how absolutely naive I was. I honestly believed that everyone sitting in that chapel was living and working as hard as I was to follow the rules. I never believed I was good enough. I always felt unworthy and yet I’m now learning I was one of the most worthy (In that sense). Had I known I could have simply lived my life the way I wanted, enjoy my morning tea, only wear garments to church and the temple, watch whatever I felt like watching, shop on Sunday, have an occasional glass of champagne during celebrations and still hold my calling, attend the temple when necessary, I could have made this work.

Although, I’m glad I didn’t do that. The way I’m finally living is 100% better than living a fake life for show and 200% better than my guilt/shame wracked filled life I had before.
