[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 85366, member: 1550"] Some know that my son that we adopted at age six from Hong Kong has found a Christian Fundamentalist wife, become a very extreme Fundamentalist (Promise Keepers sort--the type who thinks divorce is always wrong and the man is in charge and that you need to spank your kids). Since going down this religious path and with this woman, who is joined at his hip, he has all but dumped our family. We range from non-Christians to mild Christians. We are not religious and aren't going to change for him. However, he has never asked us to. He has never been abused and we had a good relationship up until two years ago. Can anyone explain what might be going on in his head? Is he maybe thinking that he is in God's family now? He does see his wife's family a lot, but they are also very religious with a lot of preachers in it. This is very hurtful to me. I love my son, but he basically won't talk about anything, and he never calls anybody anymore. His siblings are furious at him. Any ideas? Is it the degree of his religion? I have to emphasis that this goes way beyond normal Christianity. He believes the BIble is the literal Word (although the Bible isn't literal). He judges everyone by his own standards...and his whole life seems to be the Bible and his wife. I pray they have no children as I am so afraid he'll spank an infant--I've read that Dobson believes in "training" infants by spanking...at any rate, they have no kids yet and aren't sure they want any...help? Do you think he is being told not to see his family because we are heathens? [/QUOTE]
