So I moved out of my house, my husband and I are separated. I guess it was inevitable. I'm sad, confused, happy, broke, and I have been living in Value Place Extended Stay for a month. :)

now I have an apartment to be next to my kids... IN JUNE! I am thrilled about this prospect. It will literally be like less then a mile for them to come see me... they could even ride their bikes to my new place.

My TBM parents (who btw, just moved in next to the Mormon temple) are gracious enough to let me stay there awhile so I can afford this beautiful apartment that I want so very much for me and my family.

Move on... and moving out... I'm scared... is the best yet to come?

I'm so glad that you will be living close to your children. It will make things easier all around. June is a nice time to make a change. I hope that you have fun fixing up your new place.

"Move on... and moving out... I'm scared... is the best yet to come?"

That depends on how you make it. Take the wheel and create your own path.

I like your response, Rander. Thanks....... The road less traveled, Mmmm?

Yes,

But not until after the worst.

Be prepared. It's going to get much worse before it gets better.

But it WILL gradually get better.

Good luck. Keep focused on the happy positive things.

Exactly ;) We are here to help you too.

wow, good to hear from you again tiff, I can see your situation is far from ideal- crazy that some people can be so bull headed and not budge from their traditions of their fathers..boggles me too..three years later. Each stage has been different for me and very emotional- so hang on and take each day at a time... I am still adjusting to the real world. My prayers and hopeful thoughts are with you. I can't even imagine what you are going through...you are sooo strong!! You are a dynamic person and very bold! It's a start and at least you are sticking to your guns over the matter and being true to yourself.

There are a couple of us...there soon will be many more- Reminds me of a song I use to blare around my year mark in finding out and accepting the truth - Music would give me courage and remind me that there is a bigger plan and more out there...and maybe people like me. Living in South east Idaho then.. I felt like a bomb in a bird cage.. once again I can't imagine what you are going through in Utah too. At least your parents are sort of there for you- it sounds. here is the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9x2Tv-8FFI

Don't worry if you haven't convinced anyone to see it your way...haha...I haven't either and kudos to those out there that have helped people in their family and friends see the light that the Mormon church has somehow hidden for so long. I know for me personally I feel a beacon inside to help and staying silent would be doing them a great disservice- it's all about tact and I am stumped there. I guess they have to want it but I still want people to know where I stand and not think cause I have sinned... nothing pisses me off more.

Anywho girl- just checked today and saw your update- thanks for sharing cause it shows how this delay in history can break up families. I have a very poor relationship with most people in my family... and sometimes myself. I know I have to keep fighting and I hope you know that too(sometimes it can feel hopeless- for me personally, but it passes every time--push through the static I say to myself!)... everyone! We have to keep fighting and holding our heads high. Think of the strong willful Lioness. Times are a changing.. age of aquarius is setting in and people will open their minds more. Have been researching that like mad lately. It has given me hope.

Very much liked your post. I am not in Utah (thank goodness!) But I'm in MO, where they just built a new temple. :)
