Need to be super vauge on the details, but I was disowned by my father for 15+ years ago when we were both tbms. My father stopped attending 2 years ago (8 years for me). A year ago he reached out to me out of the blue. Initially the relationship was cautious because neither one of us knew where the other stood belief wise. After a few months we had an opportunity to discuss our beliefs and our relationship from that point has been better than it was when we were tbm. I think both of us realized we did stupid shit because of our previous mormon beliefs.

We're doing fine! In fact, we'll be doing even better after next week. Thanksgiving will be over and we will be free to plan our next big adventure here in Europe.
Nope, except for my oldest child all my children are still in the home. So they except for the oldest left with us. The oldest left the church after he left home, so we all sort of left at the same time. One of my sons did tell me that he had planned on leaving anyhow but I know I wouldn't have disowned him. Even when I was TBM I was never one to hold someone's religion or lack of religion against them. I have plenty of friends who left the church that I continued my friendships with them.
No, four left before I did but I respected their decision even though I was disappointed. Now we are all out except DW and she's lukewarm as to the Church hopefully one day we will have a clean sweep. So that's me 7 kids and 12 grand kids out.
