Small good story
Sometimes you get everything. Had a really good conversation with my mother yesterday. She was always the parent I blamed most since she drove the religious involvement of our family.
It actually started because I was kind of having a panic attack, but of course after that was resolved we got on the topic of the church. I explained that it took a really long time for me to get over being angry at her specifically but that I now understand she was a victim too. I got unconditional apologies and other positive affirmation I needed. It was a good moment.
This morning, she texted me saying she found Quitmormon.com and was writing her and my dad's letters, and said if I wrote mine we'd drive to her bank and get it notarized and done. She's the reason I never did it. It was her final guilt trip.
Now I'm crying, dammit.

Is doesn’t get better than that from a parent in a cult.
