[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 494853, member: 1233"] Janet, I am SO sorry that this is going on in your home. I know that Catholic guilt first-hand. Among other things, as a kid I felt guilty because on of our priests the first 3 yrs in school (grades 1,2,3) was "over-happy" in the nun's words when a girl sat on his lap. We were not just led to believe this, we were flat out TOLD that it was OUR fault for tempting him. He went for girls a bit older, maybe in grades 5-6, so I never actually sat on the guy's lap (you did NOt have a choice - he sat down and put you on his lap - saw it more than a few times) and I STILL felt guilty for maybe somehow tempting him. That is just the START of the reasons why I won't go to church, esp the Catholic ones. As a teen I went to some of the churches my friends went to a time or two and they sure didn't seem a lot better to me. So I KNOW that guilt you are feeling and it is time to recognize it for what it is. This guilt is NOT what God wants. It is what MAN uses to make people do certain things. You have done NOTHING wrong with having kids out of wedlock. When you sit and think of your boys, no matter HOW angry you are with them at that minute, do you still love them? Do you still want the best for them and for their kids? Or do you sit and hate them or not want them around for things they did DECADES ago? If you, a mortal woman, can forgive/forget/get over/whatever you want to call it, all the mistakes and problems and painful things that your kids have done, how much MORE do you think God loves YOU. Yup. YOU. You have given so much advice and wisdom and love to all of us, the oldies, the newbies, the short-timers, and the here-forevers, I cannot put ANY faith in any sort of God that would not be very happy with you and the life you have lead. He doesn't hate you to throw you away just because you made mistakes. Like Mrs Frizzle on that Magic Schoolbus, God expects us to make mistakes and get messy as we live and learn. This idiot who is trying to move into your home and preach at you is just a poser. He will get his, I promise. For now, do whatever you have to and get him the heck out of your home. You do NOT deserve any of his stupidity and in my opinion it was incredibly wrong of Tony to do this to you over Christmas. Sorry if this got too religious, just wanted to give you mho. [/QUOTE]
