My ENTIRE Family Left the LDS Church--Here's Why! | The Moment Life Started Making Sense Again
In this clip from “My Entire Family Left the Covenant Path” by LysLikesWords, she reflects on her family’s gradual departure from the LDS Church and one of the early moments that helped shape that journey.
She shares a personal story from her teenage years, when strict cultural expectations around “modesty” made even small details—like skirt length—feel heavily policed. Using a simple gesture to show how narrow the acceptable range was, she illustrates how intense the pressure could feel in everyday life.
What stands out in her memory is not just the rule itself, but her parents’ response. Instead of enforcing fear or shame, they prioritized her comfort and confidence. That supportive approach, she explains, was an early indicator of a broader shift in perspective that eventually led her entire family to step away from the faith together between 2017 and 2019.
This reflection offers a personal look into how lived experiences, cultural expectations, and family dynamics can intersect in faith transitions within the LDS Church.
