Beautifully written, Alice, and spot on. I myself have left the evangelical church, but have not left God. Now, my prayer is, "God help me believe the truth about myself, no matter how beautiful it is!"

Wow Alice. You write with so much lightness and warmth it's devastating in its clarity but so meaningful and wise. I love this from you x

Thanks Dave. I don’t really know anyone else so it is good to connect here. My situation is very complex and the faith part especially. I think about writing a book about it but I don’t think people would believe it and there’s no redemptive arc just bloody misery.

Hi Alice, I was very moved by your post. It resonates a lot with me. It gives me hope you could find a way through because I don't seem to be able to. We know each a bit in real life. I would love to connect as I feel so alone.

You’re not alone in feeling alone Jo.

There’s a lot of us that feel that way. It’s so hard.
