[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 648313, member: 1550"] Suz, I agree with you that it is not to spite us. I believe it is more that most of them (and your son seems a lot nicer than many of our little darlings) just do not participate in ANYTHING that requires any sort of belief or moral value. That includes even societal rules. All of my kids know how I believe. None of them share my exact beliefs and that's ok with me. Although your son has definite issues that require help at times, he basically tries to work (he is lucky he loves his job), be respectful toward you and not spit at authority. Therefore, that makes me think your son can regulate his morals within himself. Many of our kids don't even try. Being the first person in my family to ever marry outside of my religion (Judaism) was a major big deal in my famly of origin, although it has happened over and over again since me. I also did not do it to spite my parents, even though they weren't very good to me. Of course, in their minds, I did it JUST to spite them, which was so not true. I just felt it was silly to force yourself to only marry somebody of a certain type of religious belief. [/QUOTE]
