well, the investigating has already been done.
richie has posted his pictures, posted admissions of things he's done here and the elders said they've seen all of this.
all you can do now richie, in my opinion, is search out your heart and your mind and consider what things YOU need to say in order for you to be able to move on. even consider if you want to work towards congregational forgiveness. are you sincerely ready for the changes in your life that being labled an apostate and being disfellowshipped brings? no one here can live thru this FOR you. as much as we admire you and even applaud your ballsy moves, we arent you. If you decide to write the DA letter, breathe, think, and make sure you say what you need to say to get your viewpoint across.
i'll say again, keep your cool , keep your maturity when dealing with your mom. you cant control how she reacts , you can only control YOUR reactions. make sure you can look back on this event knowing you did the best you could do.
i'm worried about you, i have kids your age and i know how much adrenaline you must be operating on now. remember to breathe and think before opening your mouth. (thats hard for me to remember to do and i'm old lol)
hugs
one of your many board aunties
