I'm just trying to make her laugh. I would have been upset if all that happened to her happened to me.

First off, welcome! We all have stories! They're all very different, yet trauma seems to be part of the recipe. I hope you find what you're needing here.BabyNurse wrote:Hi All! I apologize in advance that this will probably be painfully long. I came to the realization yesterday that my experiences have left me very hardened and closed off. I don't want to feel that way, so I'm ready to try to start my post CofC healing. This group really seems like a safe space, so I'm just going to lay it all out there. So here goes...

My boyfriend recently found a non-denominational church he wanted to try and has been a few times. ... It was there that I realized how bitter and closed I am towards church. Their song about "all my life, God has been so good" was almost comical. ... But there are things I miss about "church," like singing, having a reason to get dressed nice, dressing my kids up and hearing them sing their little songs, and having friends. I would like to go to church with my boyfriend and "feel" something. Anything but the bitterness and skepticism I felt yesterday. I don't know where to start.
