[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 647870, member: 17542"] this is a very interesting question, MWM. difficult child professes not to believe at all. easy child also doesn't spell it out like that, but I think he is along the same lines. What is so "interesting" about it (also painful to me) is that both of my sons were raised in church. Their dad and I (now my ex-husband) became Episcopalian after we got married. I was raised Methodist and he was raised Catholic. We "met in the middle" at the Episcopal church and we loved it. Both boys were in Sunday School, were acolytes, in youth group, went on mission trips, etc. Their dad and I were both very active in church---so we walked the talk. Now...they are both completely anti. My older son, easy child, and his fiancee, are not getting married in a church. They are not having a minister marry them. She was raised in church as well, very active. My good friend who is an Episcopal priest told me that may be the very reason they are walking fast away from faith, the church and a belief system now---because we were so involved. I don't know. I don't really get it. I think they think they can rely on themselves to make in life. I think not. I know not. But I can't "make" them see it---they will have to see it for themselves...or not. It's still hard for me to take in. [/QUOTE]
