We're stuck in Georgia. We can't afford to move to a state with a higher cost of living. It's tough enough here.

Same here but in South Carolina. I hate seeing those blue Trump flags flying at people's homes.

Looks like S Carolina is starting to have a little Blue rise up. I saw the other day a women looking to get Graham's seat. If someone could open his closest it might cost him a few votes. Tim Scott too when his time comes.

Yep, where they have started teaching children in Grade School how Slavery was a Good Thing? Not sure how they got to that but I never try to understand a racist. I'm in Alabama where they elected the most ignorant Senator in DC & now they are going to make him governor & he doesn't even live here.

We lived in Warren County for almost 20 years. It will sound insane to some people, but you'll understand when I say Georgia, where we currently live, is less backwards and racist. Missouri was admitted to the country as a slave state, and they never lost that mentality. I'm sorry.

It was an evolution of sorts. It took a long time, but life changed me. I always made excuses for how abuse survivors like me were treated by the church; I stopped making those excuses, and started seeing things far more clearly. I wish I could tell you what triggered it, but I don't know.

Maybe it was the way the church abandoned me when my husband was dying of a brain tumor. Maybe I got sick of being excluded from things regardless of my gifts or talents because of my size. Maybe I just got tired of it all. Maybe I couldn't keep pretending any longer. Maybe it was the hypocrisy.

1/2. Oh my sister…🙏🏾 Thank you for sharing.. Before I got to your last couple comments, I was just saying to myself, your story would make a great book!! not kidding.. Girl…, I’d buy that first copy💙☝🏾 I hope many folks like you are having that same revelation.

Thanks! There aren't many of us, and there's a good reason for that. When you leave, they shun you. Not Amish style, where you can still eat with them and even live in the same house. They don't even acknowledge your existence. The total isolation drives most defectors right back into the mess.
