I recently had my sister leave me a note, in it she said she felt concerned for me because I wasn’t going to church, and that I was staying out late at night and she didn’t know what I was doing. She bore her testimony to me about doing the simple things, like praying, reading scriptures, going to church, etc. I don’t really talk to my sister much, we don’t even live in the same city, which makes me think that my family has been talking about me to each other. It was kinda a painful realization for me, that my family looks down upon me for being different, and I felt like some sort of second class family member. I think there is a real pain involved with being an exmormon that mormons will never understand, I have been where my sister has been, but I wish she could see things from a different perspective. It’s a sad feeling when my family looks at me like im some apostate, that I am one of the deceived elect, or that Satan has a grasp on me. Im doing the best I can to understand truth, and just because my idea of truth is different than mormons, doesn’t mean they should act condescendingly, or pity me
