#smashthepatriarchy #ReligiousTrauma #growth I spent decades trying to be The Perfect Christian Woman from Proverbs 31. I worried about being too loud, too strong, & too much; tried to bend & shrink myself to fit patriarchal expectations. Eventually, I divorced religion & my husband. I stretched & grew & became fully myself. Now I know that the only person I need to satisfy is ME.

I tried hard to be the perfect Mormon boy, until I was 15 and met the guy who would become my first boyfriend. We dated through high school - in the 70s, in Utah, so it was very discreet dating.
