Default Mormon leper

Hi there: I followed a link from a yahoo search here and just joined on a whim. I am the most dreaded kind of mormon there is; one going through a divorce. Nobody knows what to say to you. You feel as if everybody looks at you. Everybody meant to come by and check on you but somehow never made it. They're all worried you are going to do something wrong and break your covenents but your not allowed to socialize with the singles until the ink dries and you don't fit in with the "normal" poeple (see above) so you have to turn to those outside the church to feel accepted; then they are really concerned you are going to do something bad (I haven't by the way, but it is entertaing to see everybody worry about it) and so then one day when your son is gone to camp and your feling exceptionally lonely and bored you search LDS divorce on the internet and it takes you to a link that takes you here and you join becasue maybe here you can actually talk to church members that don't think divorce equals lepresy instead of just looking like is all you can do in good concious on the singles sites, and then you get on a soap box inyour introduction becasue, well, it just makes you feel better. Did I miss anything

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Would have been way more fun if I had wanted it and way easier if the boyfriend would have kept her after they got caught. LOL We would both be happier now.

Thanks to everyone for the hellos. Don't know how much I will be on here but is nice to find an LDS site where I might actually "belong" for a change.

And how about..."If you need someone to talk to, let me know."

You can get up on your soapbox here, and rant and rave all you need to.
