Pretty good stuff. Definitely fills in some holes on how teens feel about the faith of their families and the Mormon church.

my wife was raised in a multigenerational mormon family.

the ones with umpteen children, not the polygamists (that is archaic for them and a deviant group...originally it was because the persecution of the mormons and the slaughter of the men...so the remaining men took the widowed wives and families as their own...nothing more).

she left home at 15. has more tats (like quadruple) than me, and is the most rebellious neurotic female I have ever known.

so rebellious that she won't do normal shit people do like cook dinner for me, write thank you cards, RSVP, carry a diaper bag...like every aspect of her life is rebellion.

it's exhaustive and disheartening to me, but also indicative about how truly fucked up being a mormon female is.

they are a cult.
