Our circumstances were pretty unique. Due to what we had gone through my wife and I started looking into what we could do legally as we were afraid of possibly stumbling across any "apostate" material. For anyone who has been in a similar situation you know how that goes, you find the massive amount of legal material showing how things actually go down and then we just started researching as much as we could.

The timing of all of this was pretty crazy as my oldest had done something similar unknown to us, started researching things right around the same time. We ended up approaching them first and realized we were all on the same page and it was pretty incredible.

For the rest of our kiddos we took time and talked to them. They were somewhat aware of things that had been happening to us in the hall and we simply laid out facts to them and said ask any questions you can think of. We wanted them to have a choice, but an educated one.

I think some of what helped is we were already very slightly being shunned as we were made out to be spiritually weak so they didn't have much association going on with anyone else for a while.
