# Why I left More stories of 'Why I left' the Mormon church
I was raised in the LDS church and married in the temple at the age of 19. My dream was to be a wife and mother with six kids and the white picket fence. My (former) husband and I took out our endowments and got married the same day. I had no idea what to expect. My parents could not attend because they didn't have a recommend. The whole re-enactment in the temple and the penalties scared me to death. I never went back and the marriage only lasted 11 years. I'm currently 73 years old and have been reflecting on my past. I've also been doing research about church history and find so many disturbing things.
