2024-05-25 00:55:01 +0000 UTCBerto is spot on. I’m an ex-Mormon and I heard the same thing he did in that dichotomous statement about following your Dad or following your savior. Here’s the lesson I was taught when I was 8 years old by our home teachers before I was baptized [age 8 is when the church says you are now old enough to be held responsible for all of our choices - a.k.a. everything's your own damn fault from here on out, including any negative emotions because if you were following the savior, you wouldn't have bad feelings]: Get food coloring and put water in two glass mason jars. Every time you don’t follow the savior, it’s like adding a drop of dye to the water. The more drops added, the dirtier the water, the less worthy you are and the farther you are from the savior's love. So you have to “choose the right” [we all get a CTR ring after this lesson as a sort of right of passage like a physical reminder to reinforce the reason for baptism] because we only have this one mortal life to make choices that will decide what happens to us “for all time and eternity.” Choosing to be obedient "with exactness" brings miracles. And the true result of this lesson and growing up in a high-control/high-demand religion is A LOT of perfectionistic, hyper self critical overachievers who feel the need to prove our worth while simultaneously tittering back and forth between intense, debilitating anxiety and self-doubt and a self-righteous, superiority complex since all we heard everyday was how only Mormon's have the "one true church" with the "one true prophet" and everyone else is just kidding themselves - we're special. There's also that pesky deep shame-based fear of being ordinary that can develop when you grow up unable to individuate, have any level of autonomy, are enmeshed with your family and heavily discouraged to gain your own sense of self separate from the religion and family system. Deprogramming was the best decision I ever made.

2024-05-24 03:37:59 +0000 UTCI do exactly the same with instructions! I just don't have the patience to read them. The only instructions I follow exactly are the ones from IKEA because it's all pictures, and it makes instant sense to me - genius!

2024-05-23 08:55:01 +0000 UTCThanks for your deep dive into this! I was always curious about this case and listened to Cold as it came out. (The first season is truly the best deep dive informative podcast I’ve ever heard- IMO. I guess it’s just mind blowing that a father could do that. Cold briefly covered some of JP’s psychological findings. I’m so interested in hearing your thoughts and analysis.

2024-05-23 01:50:12 +0000 UTCI started listening to the Cold podcast because the first episode of this deep dive made me realize how little I actually know about this case. I’m several episodes in and it’s just wow. Looking forward to hearing more from the both of you, and thank you for doing this deep dive!

2024-05-22 21:39:10 +0000 UTCI came home from work once and my ex was all excited to show me a "funny" video of him scaring the not even 1yo with a vacuum for over 10 minutes. It was him following my baby around as he screamed and cried trying to escape the vacuum. My ex laughed hysterically the whole time.

2024-05-22 20:45:23 +0000 UTCIt was interesting to hear about how Humberto's father was responding to instability in Colombia. It reminded me of my father. He has strong inclination to be controlling, because of, I assume, the lack of stability in anything here. In my adulthood, I kind of understand where all that comes from, but, I can't relate to the lack of empathy for what his temper did to us. I look back at my twenties, and think what a jerk I was. He doesn't seem to have this kind of retrospect.
