Last Sunday my son went to the mission farewell of one of his Mormon friends. Half way through Sacrament meeting, I got the following text:
"Thank you so much for getting me out of this church. Praise God I am not a part of this church."
Leaving was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I lost most of my friends, risked my marriage, had to deal with Mormon relatives and lost my entire world view. In return, I got my freedom, my self-esteem back and rescued my children who will go on to live normal lives where they are allowed to think, question, achieve their OWN goals and meet life on their own terms. Getting that text made me cry with happiness. All I could do was text back: "I love you SO much."
