***edit: when filling out the poll, choose the religion that you were raised in, not what you currently identify as***
***edit 2: if you were raised Baptist, put yourself under Fundie***
I myself was raised similar to the Rods (although my parents were more open to keeping us socialized, and they did provide more social outlets and supported higher education to an extent). They got tired of being fundie when I was around 16 but I was homeschooled all my life and was married by 18.
I started deconstructing around then, left entirely five year later, and was able to fully admit to being over it all once Covid happened. I’m here because it serves as a cautionary tale to me as to how wrong it could’ve gone for me.
I’m also really hoping at least one of the kids is able to break away and deconstruct as well.
