@opallauryn: Crushed doesn’t even feel like a strong enough word, I really believed I could get them out. My heart is absolutely broken and enraged at the weaponization of religion in America right now. This is not Jesus. And Christian nationalism is not Christianity. I will keep speaking and screaming, even in the hurt. These are the tables Christ came to flip. #exvangelical #deconstruction #christianity #HealingJourney #nocontact

Jesus was a brown, Palestinian refugee. He was also a socialist. I'm on the other side of deconstruction. You'll get through it. Good luck. Much love.

I think that’s the hard part about being raised Christian and seeing “Christians” remove Christ from it. It makes you feel crazy that so many people don’t see it. I’m so sorry.

I remember singing “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.” Love and compassion was literally drilled in my head and now all of a sudden those children need papers??!??

This is vulnerable and raw. But it is important to share because so many people are in the same boat or quietly struggling with it. Keep your head high and keep fighting. You are seen.

Working through religious trauma in therapy as I am deconstructing. Just yesterday I was saying how hard it is to see people you love devolve into this. It’s disheartening to feel so disconnected from them for doing what you were taught.

What I wish someone had said to me- it doesn’t get easier, but you get stronger by continuing to build happiness around your grief 🩷

I’m so sorry. I have a trans son and my four siblings are all right mangoes and they love Charlie Kirk. It hurts me and it certainly hurts my son so many of his friends. It is personal. It’s not just oh we have a difference of opinion.It’s really breaking my heart.

I’m so sorry, that’s very hard to handle. So many families have experienced similar issues.

Experience-based Encouragement!: Acceptance frees you. Sometimes loving our People from far away is the best, safest love we can share. The grief is clean because you are rooted in your adult Self and who you want to be (are called to be) in the world. The chosen family you’re building will hold you and honor you and challenge you in beautiful, frustrating, delightful ways.

I had to do the same thing with my father. It hasn't felt good, but I needed to do it for me and my emotional, mental & spiritual well-being. Hugs to you, and blessings on you.

I went no contact from my Christian family members including my mom. realizing how I was raised vs how they are now is totally opposite. it's truly sad & made me angry for quite some time.
