Mail-man syndrome

When a child in the family looks nothing like the father or siblings.
It implies that the mail-man is really the father of that child.
the mother is blonde and green eyed, the father is brunette and brown eyed, child 1 is brunette and green eyed, child 2 is blonde and brown eyed; however, little Bobby is a ginger.

People would say he has "mailman syndrome" or call the situation in general "mail-man syndrome"

It would be especially appropriate if the mail man was also a ginger.

You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
