Moving away from religious pressure.

Very long story short. We live in Utah with 4 kids ages 5-14. We have left the Mormon church and find ourselves living in a terribly uncomfortable world where we feel like we are now constantly in awkward situations with people not very comfortable with people leaving the faith. It is very hard to describe the harrowing transition that this has been for my wife and I socially and mentally. It’s also somewhat strange for our children to now have a new outsider identity without fully comprehending our motivations for leaving our church. On top of that, we have lived outside of Utah for 10 years in the past and miss the diversity of thought and culture that exists significantly more almost anywhere else in the world. However, our kids are well-established. They have friends and hobbies here. Our oldest is on multiple high school sports teams. Our families live here and we are quite close with them. My question to you all is not at all about religion, but rather moving for non-necessary reasons. Have you moved your children for cultural or social reasons? How did it go? How have your children handled moving to new areas where you didn’t know anyone or have any family?
