A short dialogue between two speakers (SPEAKER A and B) where one speaker explains losing faith in trust but not belief in God. The speaker describes stopping Mass and prayer because prayers felt unanswered, feeling neglected and abandoned, and the resulting effect on home life — depleted motivation, guilt and worry that their family is suffering directly because of their spiritual/despairing state.

Chapters

I lost a lot of my faith. I lost a lot of my faith not in belief, but in trust. I believed, still believed in God. I wasn't going to mass. I wasn't praying, because I thought all my prayers were falling on deaf ears. It was very disheartening. It was very.
Overwhelming.
To feel neglected and abandoned. And what I learned as years went on is that all those thoughts were just mine. It wasn't reality. It got so bad that, you know.
My home life.
Was affected by it because it.
Depleted my drive. Why am I working so hard? Why am I pushing.
So hard if nothing's coming from it? I've prayed and I prayed and I prayed, and I've asked God every single day, just take this away. Like, don't.
Let my family suffer because.
They'Re suffering directly because of me. Not even indirectly, but just directly.
