I was sheltered growing up

Be what you is not what you what you ain’t
Location
Central NY
Sheltered as in a lack of living experience outside of my dad's ministry, includes church, bible camp, excessive moving, friends attending church, church socials, church attendance 3 times a week, my entire life was attending church and church related activities not as my choice but to support my dad's image in each community we lived in.

This is not to be assumed all of my time was wrapped up in making my dad look good, most of the time my actions were very much the opposite of a church life. The key difference is between being forced to attend church and not. Church attendance is the same but the motivation is different.

I am naive.
 

Is 'naive' our word of the day today? I've noticed it used in relation to our immune systems...

The first time we encounter a pathogen, our B and T cells are “naïve,” meaning that they do not have any specificity, or preference, for the pathogen. That’s because they’ve never seen it before. Using our police department example, the responding officers do not have information about the suspect. They respond according to protocol, but it may take longer because the suspect is not already “in the system.”​
 
My mother was raised in an orphanage from the age of 2.. she wasn't an orphan but her parents placed all their girls into an orphange and kept the boys..that's another story...but, my mother was a catholic raised by Catholic nuns ( evil)... but she had to attend church services every morning before school.. and 3 times on Sundays. She was extremely Naive when she left the orphange...and married my father

How did your alter ego behave or differ from your church life?
 
In high school my brother and I had bedrooms in the basement. Occasionally I had to interact with my parents many times under the influence. Eventually, stood up against my dad daring him to do something about his behavior.

I moved out of the house when I turned 18 and got an apartment of my own. I had some squatters to move in that forced me to move back home.

My brother & I used to have parties when my parents were away. These parties consisted of many mind altering experiences. Girls would summersault on the lawn, had a friend who hid a 5th of vodka under the kitchen sink, I looked everywhere except under the kitchen sink.
My brother was a small time dealer and I wanted to try everything. Met a lot of cool people back then and attended a lot great concerts in the Atlanta area. It was a good time to be cool.
 
Isolated and sheltered lives for children do not benefit them in any way. I'm not talking about children who may have been raised in very rural areas. I'll assume they still had visitors and get togethers with neighbors at times. That was just their life. I'm talking about children who are purposely isolated and sheltered.

@hollydolly That must have been an unhappy existence and childhood for your mother which, if I'm correct, didn't benefit you either. To say the least.
