Are you a girl who is being forced into a stereotypical gender role by your religious parents? You should not have to deal with that

      Table of Contents Women are often victims of religion, young girls are groomed to be submissive, to not go to school, to let her husband take care of her and not work for her own money, and to have an excessive number of children to the point that her body is depleted.  This is a terrible life for a woman and if this is what your religious parents are preparing you for then you deserve better and should resist this with all your might.  As a girl, you have every right to be headstrong and independent. Do your parents allow your brothers to do anything they want but they punish you for even the slightest infraction?  Are you made to do the housecleaning and chores while your brothers don't have to do these kinds of things?  Are you forced to wear head-coverings or other religious garments meant to represent woman's submission?  Do you get lower-quality gifts and less food to show you are less valued?  This is not fair and your religious parents are abusing you.  Do your pa

If your religious parents are engaging in bizarre and irrational behavior, they are likely schizophrenic, and it is a toxic environment for children

    Table of Contents Children raised in religious households often have to deal with talk of demons.  But sometimes these things can just go too far.  Do your parents make bizarre claims, like your toys can come to life and hurt you, that cartoons on TV can lead to demonic possession, that paintings on walls come alive to torment people?  This is taking demonic possession beyond the pale and it warping children's sense of reality.  Do your parents claim to suffer demonic attacks because you are not following their religion properly and have therefore allowed satan to enter the house?  Do your parents do strange and manipulative things like pretend they can no longer sleep in their room because it is inhabited by evil entities which you are responsible for bringing into the home and now they must sleep in a communal area to avoid night spiritual terror attacks?  Do your parents not allow you to have gifts from people because there could be satanic energy connected to it?  Are you t

Before you try to escape your religious parents, you need to know you will lose a lot

    Table of Contents Some children are able to handle religious abuse, sometimes it is more mild than others, but if you are becoming suicidal then you need to get out, it is not good for children to remain suicidal throughout their whole childhood, it's bad for your brain even and might become a pattern in life. The plan to escape your religious parents and go into state care is really only for children who are in an insufferable condition.  Being raised by the state is not great and you are going to lose a lot.  If you are following your monotheistic parents' religion, they can be very nice to you.  If you live at home and your parents have any sort of money, you will have your own room, your own car, will be able to select the clothes you buy, have access to your choice of cosmetics and beauty products, be able to ask for specific foods, and be able to be taken out to special places often.  None of this may be true if you are raised in state care.  Also, your parents may of

Table of Contents Highly religious communities are simply known to be hotbeds of organized child rape and pedophilia.  As a former Jehovah's Witness, I was raised in a cult that is widely recognized as having a problem with pseudo-institutionalized pedophilia. Jehovah's Witnesses claim that child rape is to be reported to authorities, but in practice this rarely ever happens.  Internally and off the record, Jehovah's Witnesses are almost commanded to deal with cases of child rape internally within the organization. When child rapes are dealt with internally, sometimes two witnesses are required for an inquiry to be launched. The idea that there would be two innocent witnesses to a child rape is almost impossible and so most internal investigations go nowhere. However, the children who brought forward the allegation are often harassed for tarnishing an adult's reputation without evidence and if they persist in their accusation they are further ostracized and shunned.  I

You need to make your parents' spiritual abuse of you public knowledge

    Table of Contents   Are your parents raising you with hateful anti-pagan, anti-LGBTQ, anti-female, anti-atheist values?  Do they threaten you with hell if you don't believe what they believe? Do they accuse you of being demon-possessed and worse?  Your parents are in spiritual warfare with you and all is fair in love and war.  First, get it out of your mind that your parents love you.  If your parents were so loving and good people they would not be monotheists in the first place and would not be teaching you these hateful and deranged things.  Here is something we all know, monotheist parents demand loyalty but if you don't follow their god they are going to abandon you in a heartbeat.  If you don't turn out like a hateful monotheist like them then they are done with you.  If you are at the point that you have rebelled against your parents' religion and they are becoming abusive, don't look back, keep going.  Your parents hate you and you should hate them and b

  Table of Contents   Do your parents ever tell you you are going to hell or won't be saved because you are not following their religion perfectly?  Until recently, most people believed that parents had the right to torment their children with accusations they would burn alive forever unless they believed all the irrational and bigoted hateful stuff they spew.  Girls who do not want to be submissive go to hell, LGBTQs go to hell, atheists go to hell, pagans go to hell, and anyone who is not their specific religion goes to hell.  Monotheist parents feel they have the right to threaten their children with hell for anything and everything, even the slightest questioning of their nonsense makes them erupt in anger and begin screaming you are going to Hades. Just because you are gay, a headstrong girl, pagan, or atheist does not give your parents the right to say you will burn forever.  This is very manipulative, this is your parent's last resort to frighten you into submission to t
