Hi! I'm Dawnie.
I live in beautiful Washington state. I am married with six grown children and three grandchildren. I am an educator, artist, curious learner, lover of board games, puzzles, and animals. I WAS a mormon for 30+ years.
About me
I will update this later.
I was a convert at age 14, seminary graduate, earned by young womanhood medallion, temple marriage, active in the church and a 1000% IN true believing Mormon.

# Why I left More stories of 'Why I left' the Mormon church
(I will update later)
Three years into our marriage, we got behind on our tiding when my husband became unemployed. We had six children. We struggled so hard, trying to catch up on our back tithing and in the process lost our car and lost our home to foreclosure. We gave up so much for the church. We felt so betrayed and experienced so much loss that we walked away and we resigned.
Only after my daughter met a Mormon friend in her high school choir and secretly joined the church three years ago did I find out about all of the things that are/were on everyone's shelves. I didn't know any of it. It has filled me with so much anger.
I feel so much betrayal, and anger, and resentment toward the Mormon church.
Mormon Stories, the CES letter, a letter for my wife, Nemo the Mormon, Mormonish, Mormon News Update... I have learned so much from these sources.
Deconstructing is rough.
