  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

  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
