Should you and your boyfriend or your partner get caught up in the moment?
That doesn't make you a bad person.
That doesn't make you an unworthy person.
That doesn't make you an unlovable person.
And if you do believe in Christ and the atonement, then...
How is judging other people based on their morality Christ-like?
How do you think that you'll talk about it with your own children?
Because I mean, it like breaks my heart to hear you say that like, oh, my parents wouldn't
want me anymore because like I can just like knowing everything that I know about your parents and what they were going through when they lost you I'm sure that was the farthest thing from their mind and like like obviously they know that like none of that was your choice and none of that devalued you by any means but
But like, how do you how do you communicate that to a child without having these graphic conversations?
Like, how do you how do you say this isn't all that you're worth?
I mean, I guess I don't even know the question I'm asking, but how do you plan on talking to your kids so that God forbid if something were to ever happen to them, they never think that my mom, my mom, my mom, Elizabeth Smart somehow thinks that I'm I'm less smart.
Well, I mean, ultimately, I did get to the point of realizing that my parents would love me.
Even despite everything that had happened, that it actually wouldn't change their love for me.
Did you come to that after you got rescued or while you were still there?
I came to that.
Honestly, it was still within that first day.
