I'm in the same category as your boyfriend so I can't intuit what you're going through but as you've already seen, there are others here who have gone through the deconversion thing. I hope you find what you need here.
Yes, I'm doing what I can. Went to a Skeptics meetup last night and talked with the host, who gave me the name of someone who was a fundamentalist who became an Atheist and can hopefully help me through this. Then tonight, we had dinner with an Atheist couple, one of whom had been Mormon. His process was more gradual, but he still experienced some of the same things. They gave me some support and insight. I have an appointment with a psychologist tomorrow. Unfortunately, she's not a secular therapist, but maybe she can still help me with support for an existential crisis.
So I'll keep working at it. Glad I found you guys. Thanks for your support.
If she starts pushing jeebus, you know where the door is. I hammered through all that shit alone, because that's just the hard-headed kind of shit I am. I won't deny that psychological advice/counseling wouldn't have helped, but that's just how I am.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
