She is standing on the edge of the abyss that sits between Mormonism and the rest of the world. She hardly goes to church anymore and if she does it is just for sacrament. My dad and brother go almost every week.
She was a convert when I was three and was raised Lutheran. She has told me before that there is a lot she doesn't agree with. She even told me that she almost resigned after she was baptized, but was worried about what my dad would do and think.
When I resigned I told her that I had many issues with what I had found. I told her I have a book that she can read if she wants to know more. I also told her that I would love to tell her what I found, but I respect her right to choose and will wait til she asks.
It has been months since our last talk about it and I am so frustrated. I know she is curious, but is scared. I am keeping my deal and not pushing, but she is better than TSCC.
She has a heart of gold and is a loving mother. When I first told her about my resignation she freaked a little and I ended up walking off. She called me up and could tell I was crying. She came right over and apologized. She promised that she wouldn't let religion get in the way and said she loved me too much to fight over things like this.
She really is amazing and I just want to get her out. I wrote a letter to her awhile back and have still not given it to her. She is one of my heroes and I hate to see her hanging precariously on the edge when I have the ability to help her.
