This is a normal post and with multiple spouses no less.
the alienation of mormons is something i really dont understand. they are no more bat shit insane than most of the other christian denominations.

This is a normal post Most other christian denominations let you leave with some semblance of dignity
I've known ex mormons who've been ex-communicated from their family and/or hounded by them.

Them, and Jehovahs Witnesses don't take kindly to people leaving.

This is a normal post You'd think Jehovah's Witnesses would be happy about it
What with there being 7.5 million of them and only 144,000 places in heaven.

This is a normal post yeah but if people leave then the person who brought them in gets negative points
and drop down the 'entry to heaven' rankings

This is a normal post Negative points? Harsh.
However it opens up another valid tactic - force people who others have recruited to leave. Double bonus!

This is a normal post How can a person be excommunicated by a family?
From a church, maybe. I know Molrmons with kids that don't practice - they still go around the house. Mom and dad may wish otherwise, but my mom wishes I'd have chosen a different line of work. I don't kno about the JWs. I know in some eastern religions growing around here people are killed if they violate cetain tenets. I worry more about physical than emotional pains.
