  1. Why leave in the first place?
  2. The Mormon Church has a great community, positive upbringing (for the most part), and a belief in eternal families… so why leave?

  9. Explaining why you’re leaving
  10. It’s important to call out what you no longer believe, but even more important to point out what you do believe in moving forward
  11. Most family members will still want to respect your beliefs and support you
  12. Some won’t… simple as that.
  13. Emotions will run high, so try to remain level
  14. Leave room for your family’s emotions as well as your own
  15. Keep it simple and straightforward

  16. How to handle the aftermath
  17. You’ll likely be faced with plenty of questions / rebuttals
