I was naive and I was numbing out, which turned out to be a dangerous, and, in my case, criminal, combination." During her arrest, she instantly felt like "a bad seed," referring to the guilt of leaving the church.

RHOSLC’s Heather Gay Reveals Doubts About Husband ‘About 3 Days’ Into Marriage on ‘Surviving Mormonism’ Show
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay shared rare insight into her dynamic with ex-husband Bill before their divorce.
“About three days into my marriage, I realized that we were fiercely, deeply incompatible,” Heather, 51, revealed in the first episode of her new docuseries, Surviving Mormonism, which premiered on Bravo Tuesday, November 11.
“I acted like it was perfect and normal, and I was so happy, and I was so fine. "Maybe I truly was a bad seed. A lot of people say that is very amicable, and it works; we get along fine.
Speaking to the Daily Dish Podcastin 2020,Heather also revealed that Bill was supportive of her departure from the Mormon church.
I wanted to repent of it immediately." After the release of her tell-all, Heather was "sure the fallout [with her family] will be even more intense than what it is now."
In Season 1 of the Bravo show, the millionaire author described herself as "a purebred pedigreed pioneer, Mormon" who "married into Mormon royalty" when she and her ex-husband Bill Gaytied the knot in 2000.
The couple, who have three daughters together, parted ways after 11 years of marriage.
I had them 100 percent of the time. “I thought he was marrying me for all the reasons he wasn’t, and I was marrying him for all the reasons he did not want to be a husband.”
In the new series, Heather set out to dive deeper into the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, exploring the scandals and secrets kept behind closed doors.
She said, ‘I feel like you’ve been in fight or flight since dad left.’ And I have been."

Heather Gay reflects on difficulties of parenting her daughters alone
Heather goes on to note that she's always felt extra responsible for her kids’ well-being due to her Mormon upbringing: “Because it’s just like, ‘The kids can’t get screwed up.
"And any desire to be anything outside of that was basically a sin. I had them 100 percent of the time. Reflecting on why they divorced, she said on RHOSLC: "All the things that enticed me to marry him evaporated when we had to live life together."
It became immediately apparent that we were absolutely not compatible.
But that doesn't mean it was all easy for her.
The Gay family is worth billions, so I basically married into Mormon royalty.
Frank's 2007 obituary clarified that his fortune came from "running Hughes' many business ventures, not from the Hughes estate." The exact net worth of his grandson Bill (born Frank William "Billy" Gay III) isn't publicly documented.
You know? But I was very, very wrong.”
Heather and Bill — who also comes from a long line of loyal Mormons — got married in 2000 and separated after 11 years. Because we were raised that way."
"Like, I was born to be a wife and mother," she continues.
