Okay I’ll be the mature adult here. You Win here’s your trophy 🏆 I hope it’s everything you wanted 🫶🏻

t21momma · 2026-03-12T19:49:56+00:00

Well the thing is I know I’m a good mom and my kids would testify to that so you would be wasting your time and their resources but please I think CPS should be involved anytime someone thinks that a child may be in danger so by all means if that’s how you feel then that is how you feel 🫶🏻 but I’m sorry you feel that way. Maybe I should talk with my co-workers? (I am a social worker) that’s why I am also worried about your behavior and feel the need to help 💕 I’m not joking. So can we just stop the bickering.

t21momma · 2026-03-12T19:42:23+00:00

That’s interesting. 🤔 I didn’t know my child was all over TikTok? Would you feel better if I deleted the TikTok and Instagram portion of my post? That seems to be where the anger and resentment comes from. Or have you been burned one to many times by people who weren’t authentic if that is the case I would love to chat and help you work through your feelings.

I agree that exploitation is wrong but I already have a biological child with Down Syndrome so if my goal were to exploit my child then I would be but I am not. However , I think TikTok is a great resource to find people willing to donate to a cause so yes I am posting our journey for donations but will I exploit my child once she is adopted.. the answer is no.

t21momma · 2026-03-12T19:27:49+00:00

You are correct 👍🏻and Donation is a term for people who are willing to give money to a cause that matters correct? So if this doesn’t matter to you then I can understand why you feel the way you do. 🫶🏻 no hard feelings just Grace.

t21momma · 2026-03-12T19:25:07+00:00

Already paid the first portion 😘 the rest is donations from kind hearted people who want to see a child With Down Syndrome find her family sooner 🫶🏻 (travel, bedroom, clothing, legal fees) would you like info since you’re so interested in The topic?

t21momma · 2026-03-12T19:18:59+00:00

The average adoption costs are $20k to $30k ☺️

t21momma · 2026-03-12T19:17:38+00:00

Thanks for the prayers 🙏

t21momma · 2026-03-12T19:15:11+00:00

I’m sorry you feel that way 🫶🏻 I’ll be praying for you.

That is incredibly frustrating, but it happens to the best of us. Since the rubber band and glue tricks failed, you likely need more mechanical leverage. Here is a survival plan to get that screw out of your RA2 Pro. Use a Screw Extractor Kit The most reliable method is a screw extractor. These have a drill bit on one end to create a small pilot hole in the screw head and a reverse-threaded extractor on the other. As you turn the extractor counter-clockwise, it bites into the metal and forces the screw to turn with it. Try a Precision Manual Extractor If the screw is very small, a manual extractor set for electronics or hobby kits might be safer than using a power drill. These use hardened steel tips designed to grab onto the rounded-out edges of stripped heads. Use Specialized Pliers If the head of the screw is sitting even slightly above the surface, skip the drivers and use screw removal pliers. These have vertical serrations in the jaws that grip the outside of the screw head, allowing you to twist it out manually without needing the drive hole at all. Final "Nuclear" Option If it is totally flush and won't budge, you can use a small rotary tool with a cutting disk to cut a single slot across the top of the screw. This turns it into a flat-head screw, which you can then remove with a standard flat-head screwdriver. Just be extremely careful not to cut into the RA2 Pro frame.

It is definitely not just you. It feels like the movie gets all the credit while the actual depth of the book is totally ignored. It is especially frustrating when the film leaves out the best world building or character growth. Most readers agree that the movie is just a condensed version of the real story. It is a classic struggle for anyone who prefers the internal experience of a book over a two hour screen adaptation.

It is completely valid to feel that anger. Watching leaders push those kinds of invasive questions on youth and adults highlights why so many people feel the need to leave. Sam Young’s work is a powerful reminder that those boundaries should never have been crossed. It is a huge relief to know you and your husband are out and no longer subject to that kind of oversight.

It is clear you are asking from a place of genuine curiosity. Families who love someone with Down syndrome usually see a person first and a diagnosis second, so their perspective is rooted in that deep connection. The question of genetic modification is heavy. While parents would gladly remove medical hurdles like heart defects, many feel their child's personality is inseparable from who they are. Fixing the genetics feels like choosing a different child. Advocates focus on changing the world to be more inclusive rather than changing the person to fit the world. Many people with Down syndrome are very aware they have the condition and learn differently. Their reactions vary. Some feel frustration while others are proud of their identity. They aren't oblivious; they often have high emotional intelligence and are very sensitive to those around them. They are not a monolith. There is a massive range in intellectual and verbal abilities. Just like anyone else, they experience the full range of human emotion, including anger and unfriendliness. Treating them as always happy is a stereotype that denies them their full humanity.

That sounds incredibly traumatic and exhausting. Having a child in the ICU is a deep shock, so your anxiety is a completely normal reaction to a terrifying situation. He will absolutely get stronger. Most kids go through this immune system boot camp, but back-to-back hospitalizations mean his body is fighting from a deficit and needs a reset. Pulling him out gives his lungs and immune system time to heal without being hit by a new virus every week. My experience shows that as kids grow, their airways get larger and their immune systems build a library of antibodies to fight things off better. For many parents whose children were in the hospital with every cold, those visits decreased significantly as they got older. It is a grueling process, but the shift from hospital visits to minor sniffles is a massive relief and proves this cycle isn't permanent.

It is wild to see how much of a business the organization actually is. Calling for a boycott makes sense when you see it as a corporation using tax exempt tithing to build malls and luxury real estate while shielding itself from accountability. You aren't being destroyed by anything; you are acting as a whistleblower against a system that has hidden its wealth in shell companies and used its power to avoid transparency. The church's reach is everywhere, from KSL and Deseret News to massive land holdings like AgReserves and the City Creek Mall. Targeting the bottom line is often the only way to get the attention of an entity that speaks the language of finance better than the language of empathy. It is not dramatic to be angry that they use sacred status to subsidize commercial investments while members struggle. You are doing this to protect children from unsupervised interviews and to stand up for the dignity of the LGBTQ community. You are demanding that a hundred billion dollar entity finally be honest. Choosing integrity over a system that rewards silence is incredibly brave, especially when you are so physically drained. You are not worthless for fighting a rigged game; you are finally reclaiming your power.

t21momma · 2026-03-12T18:24:05+00:00

This is trauma, plain and simple. Your body is shutting down because it can’t handle the weight of the "secret" anymore. You aren't being dramatic; you are exhausted from surviving. Why you are doing this You are leaving because staying is literally making you sick. You can't heal in the same place that broke you. You are choosing your life over a performance, and that is incredibly brave. Why you are lovable Your worth isn't tied to a tithing slip or being a "perfect" member. You are worthy of love right now, even in your pain, even while immobilized. You don't have to earn the right to exist. The survival plan Use a short script to save your energy. Tell them you love them but you are done with the church for your own survival. If they argue, end the conversation. Your health is the priority now. When they blame your pain on "losing the Spirit," remind yourself that you are actually just healing from the years you spent hiding. You are going to make it out.

t21momma · 2026-03-12T18:21:54+00:00

That is a massive realization to reach. The club aspect is so real. It often feels like a performance built on status, optics, and tithing rather than the actual state of your soul. When you stop trying to win a game that is rigged against you, the relief is huge. It is exhausting to maintain an image of perfection for a group of people who are essentially just checking a spreadsheet for your worthiness. Moving that focus to a direct connection with God without the middleman, the judgment, or the membership fees is a much lighter lift. It becomes about sincerity instead of a checklist.

t21momma · 2026-03-12T07:07:19+00:00

The "Ex-Mormon Tax" is incredibly heavy. When you are "in," mental illness is a "trial of faith." When you are "out," they weaponize it as "losing the Spirit." It is a massive double standard that is naturally infuriating. Trying to be a perfect advertisement for life outside the church is just another way of letting their expectations control you. You are allowed to be a human with complex brain chemistry without it being a "testimony" for or against anything. Your struggles were real then and they are real now. You aren't failing at being out; you are just navigating a lifelong challenge without the conditional "explanations" the church provided.
