ExMo Living

We're a queer, #exmormon family blogging about how we're rebuilding our life. Experience more in life. Expect more out of living!

Taking some time each day to grieve and feel our sorrows is so essential to our nature as humans. And especially so in today's time when we're bombarded with news of suffering around the world on the same platforms we use to connect with each other.

Grief is more than shortness of breath - it felt like my body was giving up on me.
I wrote about what grief feels like for me because I know how hard it can be to recognize feelings as grief https://t.co/ydZSDr5Gxr

God, it was devastating leaving the church. Mormonism was our entire community, our whole life. And we had to leave it all for our own survival. And that decision comes with overwhelming grief. We wrote about how our family is dealing with this grief here https://t.co/u8x9Nobi5X

General conference weekend seems like a great time to announce our Apostate Pride Collection!
I'm so proud to be an apostate. And I'm so proud that I'm free to be proud of my pride!
Read about some of the designs and shop the collection here https://t.co/qWK7FsAF35

This is the same with Mormonism. As I'm deconstructing the cult teachings, there is still this part of me that is shocked when reading cult descriptions and recognize the Mormon culture.

Survival mode taught you to make the best out of bad situations.

In healing, may you discover you don’t have to always adjust to dysfunction.

This is important, and it's also hilarious if you look at their simulation of what the church website will look like

What will the internet look like in 25 years? Find out with @InternetArchive’s new Wayforward Machine. @IA2046 https://t.co/gvSyZ3m0Bz

Deciding what to do with all the "stuff" when major things in life happen is a lot

@GordonBWrinkley Pina colada! And if you're interested in trying wine, Moscato and reisling are good ones to try first. I thought I didn't like wine until I tried a Moscato. And drink lots of water

Coffee really is one of my favorite things about being an apostate. Back in Grad school, I drank so much coffee and usually drank it black, too. No time for cream and sugar. Just coffee. Black.

@pinkvictim_ @CultExpert Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to reading that one

@40yrsofmormon We didn't go through the temple, so we didn't have to figure out what to do with temple clothes. Were those your only options? Throw them out or give them to the bishop?

Leaving the church comes with a lot of baggage. Literally.
It made us sick how full our home was with cult stuff.
So what do you do with all that stuff? We kept it.

My aunt traced our family history all the way back to Adam and Eve. So faith-affirming😇
