It’s soooo painful, my wife is still in the church, my daughter was raised in it and still there, I am trying to figure out how to keep my marriage and my relationship with my kids. I dont want to “pull” them out but at the same time the more I study the scriptures the less I want them there. Literally deconstruction is the most painful thing I have ever gone through.

Duc in Altum :
I genuinely empathize with your experience. Losing a community that shaped your life for decades is a heavy price to pay. No one should be hated, rejected, or treated differently simply for arriving at different conclusions. True friendship should allow room for honest disagreement. While many may disagree with your decision, I respect your desire to live according to what you believe is true rather than pretend otherwise.

Trish :
Left the church about 7 years ago, and left the religion about 5 years ago. I didn't talk to anyone except my husband and my sisters about hardly any of this until about a month ago.

Adventures of Barram :
I lost that community very abruptly when I was excommunicated from my church. It was devastating. It took years to find peace about it. However, not forgiveness. I still have a degree of anger. It was over 40 years ago.

I blew up my life first. I was angry and didn’t know why. I felt emotionally unsafe with “my people”. And I withdrew. AND THEN ℹ theologically deconstructed. I’m sure I’m not the only one who did it backwards.

I relate to your feelings very much. I also have to strive for truth always and have had to work to find community elsewhere.

Thank goodness I have more than just my church community. I had a lot of good friends at work and I keep several from the old days most of them know where I stand a couple. I just can’t really tell them.

I relate to this so much. I stayed in this situation longer than I felt it.. I definitely feel truer to myself now, but it does get lonely.

I understand this completely. There are times in life. It is better just to stay quiet until we figure it all out.

Kristi Ingram :
I miss 'the spirit'. I understand how to find the feeling outside of church. But its not as accessible without the community.

I had the opposite thing happen to me then what happened to you. I believed in God and Jesus. Just knew they were the truth from a young age but as I got a lil older, I got distracted by worldly things. I still believed but wasn’t working on my relationship with God. Things happened that started waking me up. I started reading the Bible and understanding it in a way I never thought possible. I’ve had experiences that I never had before as a Christian, supernatural experiences. It’s very true when they say… Seek and ye shall find. I don’t care if people think I’m crazy or dumb. That’s the truth of what happened to me. And it’s been truly miraculous!

Are you saying you don’t believe a higher power?

If they reject you because your faith has changed or been abandoned, then maybe they weren't really your friends to begin with. Friendship shouldn't be conditional.

J Pierre :
Once I left xtianity , at age 14 , I had hundreds of enemies . At age 62 , I now don’t seek to join a tribe or work to please my community. I seek to be a good person and support good causes . My time is spent caregiving for my husband 🌈 with Alzheimer’s now and I love the time we still have.
