@sharon.a.life: As a mom of six, former mormon, and content creator, i I could say alot more but in the end, i dont know anyone elses life or experience or reasons behind their choices. This was my experience in that mormon sphere and i know my experience and perspective on it are shared by many exmormon women as well. ❤️
Given this perspective I’m curious what prompted you to leave, if you’re comfortable sharing of course

When did you realize that this was not what you wanted and when were you able to take such a decision? How did you take it?

This is what I feel like is missing in the discussion around ballerina farms. As an exmo mom I think you put this beautifully

I actually had a trad wife/peaceful homemaking YouTube channel when I was Mormon and thought I was doing what would make me happiest, but I ended up in a mental hospital instead when I broke down

Ex-trad wife, though Catholic. 7 kids. Left my husband and the church 2.5 years ago and finding who I am has been an amazing journey. It was the 1st real choice I made as an adult.

You feel like your making choices because your constantly reminded that you have agency!

THIS is exactly the nuance missing in this conversation. I also grew up Mormon, you explained it so well.

I meet up with other moms that feel the same. It’s nice to understand each other. We all left the church, I actually never wanted to be a mom and was sat down by family and other leaders many times an

I grew up Mormon and still part of the church. I never felt like I didn’t have a choice in anything in life. Some if the core doctrines of the gospel is Jesus Christ and agency.

I’m sorry you had to experience that. That sounds terrible. I’ve had a very different experience. My bishop taught the YW that we should get an education. I got 2 degree and married at 31.

I was 24 with a toddler already when my ex-mil said something that made me realize “we can make decisions about our lives for ourselves?” Which is so ironic growing up in a church where you’re taught

Serious question, do you think social media is helping women/ people in Mormonism realize there’s more to life than what they were told and taught? This goes for all fundamentalism.

Yes. THIS. So true, our “agency” was never “free”.

It’s hard to explain to people that I was low key brain washed into having kids young without it sounding like regret. But I don’t regret having them! I just think it’s hard to explain.
