[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 588708, member: 1631"] About 6 years ago I stopped forcing easy child/difficult child to come to church with me. The more I tried to get her to come the more it pushed her away. I did insist she finish with her faith formation classes (we used to call them CCD). She was so mad that I wanted her to be confirmed especially since she decided she was an atheist. (I probably wouldn't have even insisted but to be really honest-and I told her this-I didn't want to have to deal with my mom over it-then I did tell her she didn't have to as long as she told grandma and she ended up deciding to get confirmed). Interestingly, in order to be confirmed she had to meet one on one with someone from the church. She talked to the deacon and when she was done she came out and told me she definitely believed in God but not necessarily a religion. She still doesn't come to church and that is o.k. with me, although she does choose to come on Christmas. [/QUOTE]
