why through a window

My father was excommunicated from the Mormon Church when I was four. Because my mother was raised Catholic and I and my siblings were never Mormon we still have contact with my Mormon family.

In this world Mormonism is known for its positive Family values. Most people don't know what I know, they don't experience what I do, they don't see what I see. My relationship with my Mormon relatives is one that is threw a window. all my life I have been outside the house in the cold and looking through a window at what was inside. I have Known, seen, and experienced the truth of the Mormon family, and when you get below the facade of Mormonism you find something ugly.

I was never part of Mormonism, I have never been completely separated from it. It is as much a part of who I am as any other part of my growing up.

Know that I love my family. But there is something that must be said, even if no one listens or believes. the beautiful silk screen of Mormonism is nothing more then the shadows that dance on Plato's cave wall. this silk screen is a lie so cunning and deceptive that it could only have come from one place.

sometimes when you love someone you have to tell the truth even if it hurts.
