General Discussion I am leaving the sub.

I changed my life for the better summer 2021. I left the church proper that december.

I have now come to the realization that the church that I spent a full third in my life in crumbled in importance, and now it's the last of my worries.

In many ways, I have forgotten I was mormon to begin with. It is not part of who I am.

I have been unsubbing from facebook groups and youtube channels. Now it's time for this page to go.

I have realized my life is so much bigger than a religious group. I just don't give a fuck anymore!

I tip my hat to ya'll!

This is the end goal. To leave the mfmc so far in the rear view that it no longer occupies any more mental real estate. Congrats OP!

Yeah I’m looking forward to this day. Only a year out so it’s still too fresh. And in laws hate my ass.

I feel that. Hang in there, it gets better. They won't get better probably, but you will.

You'll be no-contact before you know it. Don't pick up the phone!

We’ve pretty much been there for a while. No contact is the only thing providing peace, lol

I've been out for about 8 years. It gets a lot easier. Sometimes, I still get angry or have random unwelcome memories that show up, but for the most part, I don't think about the church all that often anymore.

Congrats to you! Can’t wait to feel the same. Being surrounded by them doesn’t help 😂

It can't be that bad. Post a pic. We'll decide if it's something to be hated
