How do you reconcile that our mothers didn’t break like we did? I’m still working on radically accepting whatever that may mean.

yes! being adopted into an Evangelical Christian, neurotypical home felt like death in countless ways that I couldn't understand until I realized auADHD/PDA and CPTSD. The lack of safety broke me

I've only been out of the Mormon cult for 5 years. I just saw this today and started crying. I feel so seen but also feel that I have so much to learn about myself and my brain. you give me hope.

I'm a teacher who burned out soon after taking on a caretaking responsibility. they both took their toll, but at school I had to watch kids get hurt by the system and that wore on me

(1) I relate to this so much. I genuinely enjoy nurturing by nature but my guilt and shame for not enjoying being alive and struggling to model to my child how to live a joyful life is what makes me

When i realized that i gave up my autonomy for a lie it broke my brain. Or rather the rubber bands that were holding my brain together broke. I could have just been whole. That would have been better

You said the key in there that most parents don’t consider: it’s not their fault. They can’t control their response. Most of our parents blamed us. That is a big difference already

I originally stopped going to liberal Protestant church because you couldn’t take my PDAer without losing a piece of your soul. It’s AMAZING you made it that far.

Narcissistic Mormon mothers are literally insane and cruel. Narcisstic Mormon fathers are scary and unsafe.

I knew I couldn't do that to my kids (we all are neurodivergent, most audhd), but in a single moment of wanting the pain to stop, I almost did anyway. I got help & a few years later left the church.💗

Leaving Mormonism saved my family too. My kids were traumatized by the church in so many ways. We’re healing but the trauma remains.

The truly sad thing is that the church would rather have you at home making doughnuts for the boys instead of earning a phd and making a positive impact on the world.

100% this! I didn’t leave bc of church history, 2015 policy, treatment of LGBTQ or racism, etc (though they did help!)… Literally left because it made me feel gross, controlled, in bondage ♥️

Becoming a mom in Mormonism is also everybody watching you struggle but thinking they won’t help cuz it’s for our own good. Zero support after week 1 of casseroles.
