Thank you for your words Cynthia. I have also wept because we're not there yet. And I agree, it is trauma. I'm so proud of our kids for walking away from a place that isn't welcoming and doesn't represent God's message of love. It's sad that the Church no longer has their voices. I also feel muzzled and it's taking its toll. I have been grateful to hear my thoughts expressed in the ALSSI podcast and to find great books that speak to me (like Learning to Walk in the Dark). It reminds me that I'm not walking this path alone. Thanks for creating a place that unites. -Sara
