I had somewhat of an idea of what I was getting myself into when we planned the trip. To be honest, I was excited to see Utah (Provo to be exact) and see where my lady grew up, and see all the places she went to as a kid. It was interesting to see that part of her life...well the positive aspect of it anyway. I never have told her her experiences were in her head or anything of the sort. I'm

I visted Utah with my girlfriend a few weeks ago. I met her siblings, and her Mother. It was an experience....to say the least. I had posted a month or so ago about how I needed some help to understand where she came from ( her being an ex-mo) and wanted to see if anyone else had some advice...since we are both women, I wanted to see if anyone else was in the same boat. Visting where she came

That's the plan. To focus on the future, get into therapy, and spend time with those who truly love us. We have a lot of people who are really supportive of us, and to me, that makes things alot easier. Time will heal, you are right, but sometimes it's such a struggle.

We live far away from all of them. (Surprisingly enough, one of her brother's is really supportive of us) But it's still hard to break down the walls that this "church" has put up inside her. I'm doing my best, but I'm also glad to know there's been some people in my shoes as well.

She's out, and has been for 4 years (from the church I mean). Her mother is especially "righteous" and wants her to come back, I'm assuming with guilt, because of the "scriptures" she's sent my partner in text messages, and phone conversations about how she needs to live a righteous life. Also, how she should of sacrificed being married to a man (even though she fell in love

I've been lurking around for the past few weeks, and really trying to understand all of this. I guess I'm just looking for advice, or maybe to find someone who has been in a similar situation as myself. Let me tell you the story... I met a woman about 8 months ago. We began dating, under really strange circumstances. I've known she was an ex mormon from the begining, but I never understood exa
