I never ...Liza thank you for sharing your thoughts. I never did like sewing but there are many things Mormon that are hard to shake. I'm not even sure you need to shake everything. <br /><br />There is no one right way of balancing the whole charade of children wanting to be involved in the Mormon church. I found it best to do just what you did; if my children wanted baptism or scouts or pursuit of excellence in their lives then I supported them. <br /><br />They did always hear my side of the story though. Now my three children are all adults and as I look back I see that the greatest gift I gave them was the permission and desire to question everything and to take responsibility for their choices and ideas.<br /><br />Just keep on loving them and talking to them and keep sharing your stories with us.Just Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617582702842642998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104692645589867745.post-59764795333067415052013-11-24T22:54:11.494-07:002013-11-24T22:54:11.494-07:00Is there really no way out? If you find Mormonism ...Is there really no way out? If you find Mormonism to be so toxic to your daughter's well-being, is there nothing you can do to escape from social pressure? I realise that life is a series of compromises, but what were the forces that made this compromise preferable to preventing the replication of a cycle you endured? Are there really no honest friends nearby who would love you and your daughter as you are instead of for what they expect you to be?Mollyhttp://mollymuses.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104692645589867745.post-89572325139881448212013-11-23T13:38:47.696-07:002013-11-23T13:38:47.696-07:00Well, I've been trying to think of a comment f...Well, I've been trying to think of a comment for days, but I just don't have a good one.
