When he is "in his cups" he has a need to talk, and talk, and talk. Often the conversations are very deep and reveal things about him that I have suspected but not known. He has been upset about alot of different things this week and, of course, that leads to his local bar...then getting a lift home to visit with me. Sigh!
Anyway the point of this post is that last night he asked me if I would go with him to a popular Christian church. He has attended services there twice a couple of years ago and most of his easy child friends and their families are members of the congregation. I agreed to do it. Don't know if he will remember that he asked. I realize this could be another baby step forward for him but Lordy (no pun intended) I am tired of difficult child parenting. Whine.
It has big screens and alot of music and prayers. It is popular and dynamic. Selfishly, however, I have two personal issues involved. I grew up in the traditional Catholic Church and it will be difficult for me to attend an intractive congregation. husband and I have a set pattern for Sundays which is our only day off from work. Long ago I made peace with staying home on Sundays...and I value the break from the stressful week. It also will put us back in contact with families who distanced themselves years ago.
Guess I need to pray for the "strength to change the things I can". DDD
