It is normal that Mormons are wary of the anti-mormon family members of recent converts. However, to put the girl under house arrest is highly abnormal whether you're anti-mormon or not, unless, possibly, if you're dealing with a so-called splinter group unaffiliated with the mainstream Mormon church. I wonder at the actual state of things. Is she being kept from you, or are you being kept from her? If the former, that's outrageous, but if the latter, then are they acting with her knowledge, consent, and/or instruction? How have you reacted to your daughters baptism? Have you done anything to offend her or make her feel less than comfortable with you? I suppose either way, things are surprising and abnormal. I've never heard of an upset family member being "cut off" completely, but often enough avoided. Family is very important to Mormons. However, differences of religion can sometimes drive deep wedges between people. If none of that applies in your case, then I would be worried, that those calling themselves "Mormon" might be something more sinister, for such behavior is not typical of real Mormons.

It is not normal for Mormons to sequester or isolate themselves from members of other faiths. If you are choosing to belittle or demean your daughter's new faith, she herself may be choosing to avoid you. That having been said, you gave no indication in your question that that is the case, and most non-Mormon Christians I know are kind and considerate people. My mother-in-law is not Mormon, and we get along really well! I hope your situation improves.

No. Do you know if this is the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints? Could it be a fundamentalist group? When have you spoken to your daughter last? Does she have any reason not to want to speak with you? Do you have a good relationship? It is not normal for anybody to keep her from you, especially Mormons, they are very big on family relationships. Try to speak with the fellows parents and understand what's going on.

I have a friend that had a mormon wife... they were married in the Lutheran Church (his religous affiliation). They had a baby and she divorced him a few weeks later. Her and her family are doing everything possible to keep the baby from him. I know my friend pretty well and do not suspect any fowl play. I have since moved away and do not know how things have progressed. I have neighbors that were initially not members of the Church (at least the wife and kids were not). The husband was what he called a "Jack Mormon". We were pretty close, had dinner together, kids played together, etc. After a year they became members of the LDS Church and those old enough were baptized. Since that time, they seemed to consciously cut themselves off from our friendship. Of course we would still talk and what not, but it was not the same. This maybe a conscious effort by the Church to isolate "newbies" from those that are not LDS so as to not "contaminate" them... This is speculation on my part. I have a good friend and co-worker, who is LDS that is totally opposite. He is always will to discuss he beliefs with me and is always a good friend... but he has been in the Church a while and feels he is comfortable with his beliefs.

Well, he's a Mormon, right? Sounds normal to me...normal as far as Mormons go, anyway. My mom had a friend that married some Mormon dude: same thing happened to her.

No, My husband and I are LDS. His family is not LDS and some of mine is not LDS. It makes no difference to us. We do stuff with them all the time and have great realtionships with them all. Why would the parents move in with them? That is kind of weird. Better to talk with your daughter and find out how she feels and what she wants? Hope this helps. Good luck!
