  • I know it’s not answering the question of the post, but I’ll chime in here because it’s related. It’s also kind of the opposite experience. My mom grew up Mormon and was excommunicated from the church before I was born for living with my dad “in sin” out of wedlock. That in and of itself is an interesting story, but it led to her really turning her back on the church. My dad was basically already atheist despite a Catholic upbringing. Serving in the Vietnam war made him question all of that. Also a very interesting story, but maybe one for another time.

    The result of all of that was that I was raised, more or less, in an passively anti-religious household. My parents taught me that it’s okay to be spiritual and believe what I want but that organized religion is poisonous. They encouraged me to think what I want but to be very critical of anyone or any establishment that wanted to tell me what to think. I love my parents and deeply respect them for going their own way and raising me and my siblings the way they did





  • My ex wife’s mom was a kid rock megafan. She had kid rock tshirts in heavy rotation, had kid rock bumper stickers on her car, and went to concerts as often as possible. She even had limited edition, rhinestone encrusted kid rock shoes. She was one of the dumbest people I’ve ever encountered and a real piece of shit person.

    Several years after divorcing my wife she still texts me asking for money (she’s a dirtbag gambling addict) despite fact I’ve ghosted her. I will never block her, because getting those texts is a sweet reminder that I’ve escaped my shitty ex’s shitty family. Fuck you Linda, you hateful garbagemonster
