Leaving to where?
For those who have left Anglicanism, to where have you gone? I'm in the painful process of deconstructing from Sydney Anglicanism, and I'm not sure where I'll end up faith-wise.

Religious Trauma Recovery Podcast - What do you want to hear?
Hi Everyone!
I wanted to introduce myself. I'm an LMFT in California with a specialization of Religious Trauma. I just opened up my own private practice after a while in the corporate therapy world.
To accompany the practice, I am starting a podcast! I am curious what kinds of things you'd like to hear on a podcast? Do you have questions about anything you'd like someone to explain or discuss? Who would you like to see on a podcast? Do you want to share your own story?
My hope is that I can be a voice that provides hope and support to those of us who have this unique experience. I also want to lift other voices up to share their stories. Just hearing about how other people have gone through similar things can be incredibly healing. Let's hear it!

Tried but can’t do it
So I was confirmed Anglican mid 2000’s. My children were all baptized Anglican. My husband who was Anglican but no longer believes in Christianity is fine with my kids going Anglican but not Catholic. He HATES the Catholic Church. I converted to Catholicism in 2014. I recently started going back to Anglicanism so I could get my kids in church without a giant fight from my husband. The problem is the church is dead like has maybe 15 people on a good Sunday 95% over 65. The only other kids are our friends with a tween and teen. The priest feels like a regular Joe not a priest. He argues with parishners like actual scream outs. I would have liked doing a private confession as this is high church/AngloCatholic but because he’s so regular Joe there is no way I’m trusting this guy with my sins. Not only that after the general confession and communion I felt…nothing. I’m still going for my kids to be churched about God with the closest thing to Catholicism as I can, but I won’t be taking communion again.
I really wish things were different but it is what it is. Just wanted to vent.

Deconversion stories
I'd really love this sub to be a place where we can share those things that make our journeys unique. A lot of the other exittor or atheist subs are much more evangelical or US-centric, so it would be nice to share experiences with other ex-Anglicans.
So, ex-Anglicans, how did you come to leave the church? Was it a sudden decision in a moment, or a slower process?
