No matter what you believe it's okay to talk about it

My whole family is the in Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon Church). Our family traditions are the events of the LDS church. If i choose to leave the church it is not just the church i am leaving; it is family tradition. My family is so deeply rooted in the church that leaving the church means disappointing them and all of their traditions. 

The life events in the Mormon church are: 
Baptism
Sunday Meetings
Youth Mutual
FHE
EFY 
Seminary 
Institute
The Trek
General Conference 
Patriarchal Blessing 
Proxy Baptisms
Priesthood Offices
Endowments
Mission
Temple Sealing
Have Kids!!
Repeat

With all of this family history and church intertwined, a decision to the leave the church becomes much more complicated.
