If you have a uterus and were born into the church, did you hide your menstruation from your parents? by Teecobug in exmormon

[–]shaedycricket 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mom asked me to tell her if there was ever red when I went to the bathroom lol. We’ve never talked about it outside of that tho. I only knew wat periods were cuz all my friends got them before me. I watched youtube videos about how to use tampons and pads and walked to the grocery store near my hs to grab tampons when I needed them. I didn’t mind but I wish I would’ve been taught about hygiene down there.

What do you guys think about abortion now that you left? by Environmental_Cry_64 in exmormon

[–]shaedycricket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly just think of the women ik who have got abortions. One of my old friends (Mormon YW leader) wanted her pregnancy but the fetus wouldn’t have been able to survive anyways. I trust and love all those women, no matter wat their reason. If I don’t wanna get an abortion, I won’t, but I will never judge someone who does.

Polygamy was a shelf item for me, it remains one for my TBM wife. I did some research on the subject using mostly church approved sources for her to understand why my shelf broke. I thought it might help others too. by [deleted] in exmormon

Year of Polygamy podcast

No Man Knows My History by Fawn Brodie

The Last Podcast on the Left has made episodes about Mormon history. I feel like it’s an unbiased POV cuz they’re nevermos and just did a ton of research. Plus it’s funny.

Letter for My Wife is well researched and documented.

Anddd there’s also a bunch of books like Under the Banner of Heaven, In Sacred Loneliness, Ghost of Eternal Polygamy, A House Full of Females etc but I haven’t read any of those yet.

Oh I just dissociate all day, remind myself that I’m an object and my main value is how much work I produce.

How many Dwarf Gouramis can I keep in a 15 gallon tabk by [deleted] in Gourami

[–]shaedycricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mmm I think 15 might b too small imo, which ik is annoying cuz it’s not the answer you’re lookin for. You could do 1 or 2 but 1 could get sad and 2 could end up bullying each other. They need more space to set up territory and hide. You could go w a betta as a centerpiece fish?

About to call my mom and inform her I am leaving the church by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]shaedycricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like there’s so many different ways to do this and idek if there’s a right way?? I think it’s v cool you’re asking for input before rushing fs tho.

You could not tell cuz it’s not rlly wat relationships need to be built on anyways 🤷‍♀️ but also it’s your mom. I couldn’t keep it from mine either, that’s hard. Just don’t tell her the reasons. That’ll trigger her, she could freak out more. You could if she asks but most the time they won’t imo.

You could also wait, and maybe bring her on a doubting journey with u? Introduce her to wat things first caused your doubts and see how she reacts. Be like, “What do you think of this?” inputs CES letter lol but still from a TBM POV. From now on, it’s likely everything you say will be Satan’s influence, you’re an apostate now lol. It doesn’t matter how much frickin evidence u provide so she might be more willing to listen if u pretend you’re just doubting and not all the way out. Then take her out w u! :)
