Personal Revelation trumps the prophets

While I rage at the church for this sort of bullshit, I’m far more angry at myself for taking to heart the castigation I received, not only from the GC pulpit, but the “personal counsel” from my local priesthood leaders, my TBM family, and even random dates who thought I was in the wrong for wanting an education and a career. I was an “old maid” long enough to get into grad school. I got married in grad school and found out I was pregnant two weeks after I graduated.

If I had just seen the bullshit for what it was, maybe my life could have been different. I guess it makes me a bad person, because I really love my kids, but I feel like my life was a complete waste. Listening to this constant stream of poison totally ruined my life.
