How I Told My Family I Wanted to Leave the Mormon Church

August 8, 2025 358628 Views

Today I’m sharing how I told my family I wanted to leave the Mormon Church, including the emotional and psychological weight of that decision. I talk about the deep roots of Mormonism in my family history and why it felt like such a high-stakes moment. You’ll hear how each family member responded from my parents, siblings, and grandparents. I’ll also share how it affected our relationships over time. I also reflect on what it’s like to feel like the black sheep, even years after leaving.
