He was going because in this small Southern Utah town where we live, it's not as much like this anymore. It's, it's changed a little bit, but your kids are, um, not invited to some parties if you're not Mormon and not active. Your kids are not treated the same by some school teachers if you're not active Mormon. We wanted our kids to be good kids and make their lives easier.

It's just hard because I tell people it's unfair to birth a child into something that controls their whole life when that child never agreed to be part of it.
