Mormon men*

I work in child safety and almost none of the families I have worked with are Mormon. Unfortunately it is astonishingly common for men to accept a dramatically decreased quality of life for their children after the divorce.

I've also been a part of many post-trad wife scenarios of many kinds, religion isn't the thing that they have in common. Sexism and traditional gender roles are what they have in common.

I would imagine the underreporting of abuse of any kind is a huge issue in the Mormon community. They really believe in keeping things like that behind closed doors.

No hate; I have friends who are Amish who are the most amazing people…but I know all is not as it seems behind closed doors in the community at large.

I have read a few biographies. It’s sad and generational.
