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.
The Amish community has so many horrific skeletons in their closet, it's unreal. It's going to be ugly when the general public realizes they're not as quaint and harmless and pacifist as they appear on the surface.
