feeling so lost and alone today. I've been without meds for 4 days thanks to my prescribing dr. I guess it's just not that important, so I feel no real need to fight about it.
I'm really struggling with my church right now. The pastor and others in the church are unaware of my child's transition, so I 'm trying to forgive their insensitivity and intolerance, but each week gets harder. I'm not ready to give up on my faith, but as far as church goes I've had it! So many times, there have been comments about the LGBT community that were less than tolerant or merciful! It makes my heart hurt to hear it, to realize that the church where my child grew up, and worshiped, played in the worship band and was married would no longer accept or show them any kind of love or mercy. I am sickened by their attitude and hypocrisy. What gives anyone, including me, the right to judge my child's choices?! Nothing at all!
It is so hard to sit there week after week and pretend like all is well, when it's not! I'm so tired of the struggle.

Like you, I felt disappointed by the lack of tolerance I found in the Church. I left the Church. But I do not know what is best for you. I send you a big hug

I found a church that was more tolerable of the LGBT+ community. I go there when my agoraphobia isn't acting up.
