ABC News examines the experiences of children who left the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) and are now resisting their new lives with parents who also left the polygamous sect. The video story documents the complex family dynamics that emerge after exiting.

Children raised in the FLDS community face profound adjustment challenges when transitioning to mainstream society, even when their own parents have left the group. The resistance reflects both the trauma of leaving and the difficulty of adapting to radically different social norms and expectations.

The FLDS is a fundamentalist group not affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It practices polygamy and maintains isolated communities primarily in the Southwest. The story illustrates the long-term effects of high-control religious environments on family relationships.
