Making the bold move to leave her family and ideology behind, Madison says she doesn’t regret it now feels “free” after being exiled from the community.
The 22-year-old’s life changed drastically after her family found messages on her phone from her boyfriend Josh. The pair had been secretly dating after meeting while working together in TKMaxx, and the discovery led to Madison’s family cutting her off altogether.
“I wasn’t allowed to be with anyone from outside of the religion,” Madison explained. “If I wanted to be with Josh, I had to walk away from everything. I had to leave my home and start life again, and that’s what I chose to do. No one has spoken to me since. It was very hard at first.
