Walking McKinney’s Red, White & Boom parade w/McKinney Democrats & other like-minded people was a great way to remind myself not to give up despite what Congress did yesterday. So many people cheered as we walked by that I was once again encouraged not to give up. Happy 4th! #FightTheGoodFight

Responses to my vickiswritingnook.blogspot.com/2025/03/when... entry made it clear that so many people have experienced church trauma. I’m now considering a When It All Falls Apart Blog Series If you'd like to know more, message me or leave a comment and your email on my blog so I can contact you.

I know what it’s like when a place that used to feel safe, no longer feels safe. I know what it's like when you aren't sure who or what to believe anymore.

I know what it’s like when it all falls apart.

So, a lot has changed in my life. I have many stories to tell - maybe on another day. But, I know what it’s like to be hurt by the church...by the people you trust.

It’s been 30 years since I walked out of that church. Since then, I've had the opportunity to deconstruct my faith and spend many hours in therapy. I've even found a healthy church to attend. Yes, they do exist!

It went from being a place that felt like a loving family to a being a place where people yelled and screamed and hurt each other.

Yes, I was raised in church, but in my mid-twenties, I left.

My home church went from being a second home to being a place that no longer seemed safe. It went from being a place which I thought taught the truth to being a place which I felt had lied to me.

Plus, there were lots of fun activities: youth group, church camp, mission trips…you name it! It was a great church!

Until it wasn’t.

When I was 15, my family started attending a charismatic church which had a focus on *prosperity theology. It was definitely a different type of church (when people started dancing in the service, it scared me), but everybody was very nice.

When It All Falls Apart…

I used to love going to church! My parents tell me that my brother and I were christened Methodist, but the first church that I remember was First Baptist Church in Arlington, and when we moved to Brownwood, so did our church membership.
