It's Sunday, so post-traumatic stress (?) of what happened decades ago?
My worthless idiot dad would drag me to church, 8 miles away; he went to church every Sunday, and the bars every Saturday. He even became a member of the whatever volunteer bunch that helped run the church, which required him to attend the one or two hour annual meeting around the end of the year, after church.
As though it would have been so terrible for me to stay home that one Sunday---but my scumbag dad would take me along, and let me sit in the car for an hour or two while he was at the meeting. Me seated in the car, on a long, empty, street, and no doubt neighbors looking out their windows to wonder why some kid was sitting in a car all that time. For decades I was too stupid to even wonder about this.

Too bad you didn't have an etch a sketch or a coloring book or something to help the time pass.
My bad memories related to church happened when I was older(young adult to now). The pastors just not wanting to pastor. as they should.
A couple years ago,I'd been visiting this one church on and off, attending their Saturday night contemporary service. It was the one year anniversary of my grandma's death and I ended up crying through the whole service. Nobody said boo to me. It made me feel worse than I already did. I did not go back to that service.
