When the show came out and Mormonism seemed to be all over our algorithms, I found the trend kind of harmless and funny. Then I started reading a book about it, and what life is like for people who leave the church, and suddenly things seemed a lot less harmless
Raised Mormon and it took me about ten years to fully leave— now I find myself terrified for my young nieces but not worried about my nephews, which also makes me feel sick and twisty inside.
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking all week. I see how deeply Taylor feels things—it’s to an extent that isn’t normal or healthy. And I believe that those huge emotions are very real for her (and incredibly destabilizing). I want her to be well for herself and her kids, and I think for that to happen she will have to step away from reality TV altogether.
I’ve been waiting for this

Oof, that is so hard 💛
Don’t watch this show.

The video was so disturbing. I can not BELIEVE they chose her for the Bachelorette.
Therapy.
