I haven't murdered anybody or organised a crime ring haha. I'm a sole parent, the father of the child abandoned us and in trying to keep a roof over our heads and my son fed, I have engaged in regular prostitution (which in the country I am in, it is not a criminal act). My presidency would not want to excommunicate myself or anybody else out of spite. But they've shown such love for me that I know it will break their hearts. In being a sole parent in the church culture that we have here, I have had to fight a lot of bigotry and face a lot of loneliness. It's not an excuse, but it hardened my heart against the Church and the Lord, to the point that I was going, but feeling zero connection. No matter how hard I prayed and fasted there was nothing to help me help my son so I took matters into my own hands. It was a true act of extreme desperation borne out of feeling entirely cut off from the Lord, questioning if he was even there to hear me at all. And now I'm broken.
