[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 109526, member: 1233"] I really have no quarrel with any of the Wiccan faiths I have encountered. When he first started this we did our best to learn about it. BUT he only wants to pick and choose the bits and pieces HE wants, not any real effort at a belief system. He brought over "Yule" gifts for us yesterday. I thought my dad was going to have a cow at one point when difficult child put on his martyred "No one accepts me" drill. I simply said that since he isn't really practicing any religion, we didn't feel the need to try to understand. And then changed the subject. The biggest problem is that in almost every conversation he has to make a jab at ALL religions as a whole, Christianity in specific, and then the poor me. I am going to give his presents to the Salvation Army. He doesn't believe, is going to be rude, and doesn't need them. Y'all are right. A while back we arranged for him to talk with a friend who has been a practicing Wiccan for years. He stormed out because the "Harm none" just "isn't right". Apparently because he is so perfectly wise he should be able to harm those who need it to set them on the "right path". I am not making this up. It is pretty funny if you don't have to live with it. I am certainly NOT going to step in between him and Gma and Gpa. He doesn't like my home, has rejected all parenting efforts made by husband and I. While I am quite sure it is grandiose thinking, I am also pretty sure no medication will change it. I just want to have some peace during the holidays. As to what will happen with my very Catholic in-laws tomorrow, I have NO clue. They are very very insulted by his "religion" and also see no way to help on this issue. I am glad I am staying home. I can't travel yet, so I will miss the fireworks. Thank Heavens. Hugs to all, Susie [/QUOTE]
