Our little family unit of FIVE have resigned from the Mormon Church now for over 20 years, but would attend our extended family reunions for much of that time. The reunions were hardly bearable by our children who were shunned by their Mormon cousins. Much of this time DH and I wondered outloud if the emotional pain was worth it. We attended less and less as the Mormons went on missions and married in Temples. I am happy to report that today, out of all the cousins, they are either inactive or have resigned from the church. I think maybe one or two are active. I don't expect an apology for previous actions of children, but I find much happiness that our early resignation had an influence on young impressionable minds. I write this in hopes of helping others who've endured Mormon Family Reunions!
