1705: "Perfect" Mormon leaves the LDS Church - Kelsey Edwards Pt. 2

Description:

Welcome back for part two where we learn how Kelsey's faith journey began in earnest. What has been the public and private reaction to her ongoing faith journey? What benefits and challenges has Kelsey faced?

@KelseyEdwards has a unique upbringing as a child actor who was homeschooled by her Mormon parents. Driven by a desire to do what’s right and excel, Kelsey develops a perfectionism that goes beyond religious adherence into body image and leads to disordered eating. Kelsey is able to recover with help from her parents, only to be thrown into another family crisis as her father succumbs to an opiate addiction after chronic back pain and leaves both the Church and the family. As many children do, Kelsey feels she shares blame for the destruction of her family and re-commits to the LDS religion for strength and comfort.
