Forced Patriarchal Blessing

Got mine when I was 14 and it really messed with my head for years. I use to believe that it was predicting my future, talking about how my future career would be inspired by my service a missionary, how I would hold important callings in the church, and that I needed to avoid behaviors and THOUGHTS that the devil had dominion over. And of course it always ends with the fact that these things will only come to pass of you remain righteous.

Also, mine didn't mention anything about temple marriage or my future family while all of my friends at church said theirs did. To me, i was already experiencing depression and suicidal thoughts at that age, I was convinced that I would die before ever getting married. I kept this interpretation with me almost my entire life until I started realizing it was all BS
