What amazes me is that there are many apologists who want you to just resign from the church. It is as if they WANT your family to be harmed, your children and grandchildren out of your life, your husband brokenhearted.
Who in their right mind would want this for anyone? And how could this possibly be God's will?
Any church that teaches doctrine or ideas that promote the destruction of a family to promote their church is not of Divine Origin, I'm pretty sure of it.
I know, I know, apologists will share the scripture Christ came to put families members against each other. NONSENSE.

There are a great many ex's, anti's and critics who would also encourage her to resign. Just sayin'
Hi Jersey Girl,
Yeah, you are right. I'm uncomfortable when anyone judges others who are in this very difficult situation.
I think most of us manage the situation as best we can and pick the best of some not so great options. It is not easy and for most, there are some serious ramifications no matter what option one chooses.

Those people are idiots. Everyone just makes their way through life the best they can. If there's one thing I absolutely reject about Mormonism, it's that there is one right way to do it.

We will do fun things tomorrow... things they wouldn't do at home without complaining, but that are fun to do at Grandma's house, because I am not their mom. I'll let them dig the holes for the bulbs, instead of doing it myself, and we will plant bulbs that will be beautiful this summer, and they will remember that they planted them. I'll let them hose the spiderwebs off the house, without telling them to not get wet. I'll let them burn the weeds and any old wood they can find, and we will roast hotdogs and marshmellows. And they will remember this weekend at the farm, and know that they are loved more than life itself.
I will never let anyone jeopardize that. Ever. I will find a way, in whatever fashion I have to, to keep them all close to me, no matter what the cost to myself. And if that sounds like someone with no integrity, then that's fine with me. I know who I am, and who I love, and who loves me. And if I have to be lonely, and I am, I am not lonely in my heart. And I can live with that.
I think your story illustrates the point perfectly. I can only be thankful that I didn't have as much to lose when I realised the truth. I hope that things turn out well for you, and possibly your grandchildren will know where to turn when they realise what is going on.
