HOLY PARENTIFICATION, BATMAN!
Now that that’s out of my system. I just need to vent about parentification and the quiverfull movement for a hot second. I know last post was mostly about mental health and abusive relationship. But parentification is also something that haunts and harms kids within fundamentalist systems. I recently visited my grandma in the hospital…

Abusive Relationships and Fundamentalism
I spoke recently about laying down boundaries with one of my siblings and how she was told not to witness to my children if she wanted to visit. The conversation quickly pivoted away from any mentions about visiting. And it’s not focused on my younger sibling witnessing personally to me. “Again out of love I…

Choices
I can barely think of any life changes without experiencing anxiety. The type that shoves on your chest, twists your gut, and makes your heart race.
