I was so afraid of everybody. It was so scary. But also I wanted their approval so bad. But my dad was always kind of like half in, half out. He didn't actually want to go. He did it for my mom. And so when I was seven, they divorced and he kind of left the community. But even before that, he was just painted as a terrible person because he didn't want to be there. And that showed.

My mom decided to get a boyfriend who did not want to be in the community. It was just kind of looked down upon to have a boyfriend at all. And he was a Vietnam vet. He was sort of abusive. So I had to live with him for a little bit. Basically, my mom was shunned because she wanted to be with this man who didn't want to be in the community.

So there was a point around that time where I was also shunned. The whole community was having Thanksgiving at Trina and Stephen's house. And I wasn't allowed to go. I like met with my sister and she's like, Fran, you're not allowed. My oldest sister, I'm the youngest of five, but she was my person when my mom wasn't around. Why was she allowed to go? Because she had her own life.
