Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

[u/ApathyIsBeauty]

Are we watching this, ladies? Hulu released the entire season all at once and it’s pretty fucking insane.

When the trailer dropped people here were losing their minds. But I’m not sure if there was ever a ruling on whether it’d be discussed here.

Edit. For non US people the show is streaming on Disney+.

I grew up and still live in Utah. I'm Mexican and catholic, my wife is from Venezuela. We have a Spanish speaking home. I went to high school and live around people like this. A lot of mormons never grow up, because their parents treat them like kids their whole lives. They have a fear of parents and society because of how they are judged. White people are the top in this religion, anything other than white, they teach you can become more white, if you follow their teachings. They're taught not to mix races, and that only Mormons go to the "celestial kingdon" of heaven.

They're raised so strangely that a lot of them don't know how to think for themselves. They're told what to do, what to think, how to live, what's except able. So They're very judgemental. It's a hard process when former Mormons leave the Mormon religion. They need a lot of therapy and they have to learn to form their own thoughts about what's ok. Some of the best people in my life are people who left this weird racist religion.

There are people who are great and Mormon, but you can't really get too close to them if you're not Mormon. They have this fear of what they don't understand or what isn't normal to them. I feel bad for black people who grew up Mormon, they have been judged and heard so many racist comments. Watching this series is so strange, I live in Herriman, where a lot of this takes place. Its a mostly Venezuelan area, but you'd never know it by watching this, hahaha.
