I come from a similar religious background, though my parents very obviously hate each other, never divorced, both constantly trying to get a middle school aged me to take their sides in arguments, traingulating everything, always, all the time, later escalating to trying to force various mental health condition diagnoses on each other and myself via quack doctors and institutions with dubious at best qualifications and track records.
I stopped talking to my family years ago, but if my ability to search through public records is accurate, it looka like my brother, his schizophrenic former FLDS cult member girlfriend and my mom rent and live in a two bed house in a suburb, and my dad lives in a trailerhome 60 miles away out in the sticks.
I'm sorry, I hope the PTSD hasn't screwed you up too bad. It's definitely one of the reasons for my mental health issues. I went to a Church of Christ. This is the only name allowed for a church in this sect, because Jesus said build the church in my name in the king James version. So anyone who calls a church anything else is obviously going to hell.
They take the book that's been translated again and again and again, with books added and removed, and say it is the literal word of god because all the translators received divine inspiration. It would be a silly joke if they hadn't hurt so many people. Almost all my family is dead now. What sect were you in?
