This time 15 years ago I was a lifelong 41 year old member, temple married and the father of 4 teenagers. I was also 6-8 months into a faith crisis. These were dark days for me. I really thought that if I left the church my wife of almost 20 years was going to leave me. However, within a couple of months she decided to resign her membership, along with me and our 4 kids, symbolically on our 20th wedding anniversary. The journey out was painful at times, yet overall we have enjoyed it. Our kids now 33, 30, 29, 27 have experienced a life outside of mormonism which is what I wanted. Of course we have had church and family relationship causalities.
So today I sit here a happily married man to my wife of almost 35 years. I know I am one of the lucky ones to have left with my marriage intact. I am grateful for that. The past 15 years have been a rollercoaster however, we have no regrets. Hope the posters I have associated with early in my exit are doing well. I rarely if ever post however, I do lurk occasionally.
Cheers, Adam
