Annulment of my Parents’ Marriage

[1ke]

I was raised being told a lot of things about the church which aren’t true. I’m here trying to sift through what is and isn’t true, so I can decide whether to stay or not.

Then the best course might be to talk to your own pastor.

I was 12 and didn’t grit my teeth. I was literally weeping through the entire ceremony. And not one person asked why I was upset.

I understand I got a raw deal with the parents I got. I made it through a lot as a child and am still here today. I’m doing well in my life. I’m just subjectively trying to make the best decision for how to raise my future children. I have a lot of bad feelings and such towards the Church and I know it is a result of these bad experiences, not necessarily because the church did anything wrong.

I suppose I should have worded my original post differently.

I don’t currently have a priest I can trust.

I think this is key. You need to find a Catholic counselor to help you separate the two.

I’m assuming some money or favors changed hands, but you never know.

You really should learn about the annulment process before making such unjust accusations.

it seems that my parents were married in an episcopal church which is probably what happened.

If one of your parents was Catholic, and they didn’t get permission to marry in the Episcopalian church, that would explain it.
