I have been needing to get some things off my chest about the church, especially about our reasons for leaving and our exit process. So I wrote a blog post about it (I will not link to my blog-I think its against the rules?) in hopes that my family would read it. My husband and I came out almost 2 years ago and since then my parents and I don't talk about it. If it is brought up (only twice) it ends up in a huge fight.
So I wrote that post for them. I don't know why I did. Maybe so they could see my reasons, maybe try to understand a little bit as to why we left, whatever. Wishful thinking on my part. They didn't even read it! They say its too painful and they don't want to talk about it.
They don't care about my husband and I, they just care about my kids. They think we are harming our kids.
I can understand where they are coming from. I ruined their eternal family. I hate that they are so brainwashed and I hate that I caused them so much pain.
Some other hates...
I hate going to the grocery store and running into a person from the ward. They act like I have a contagious disease.
I hate that my family can say whatever the hell they want about religion but we get told that they don't want to hear what we have to say.
I hate that the church is so controlling and that my family can't love me for me.
I hate that my parents can't think for themselves
I hate that my family lives for the next life and not for this one
I hate the Mormon church.
*Thanks...I feel better*
