[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 588765, member: 3419"] MWM, sorry, lol! Your family sounds so much like mine! It's like one of those crazy comedy movies, Meet the Family, or whatever. Ksm, yes, it does hurt. I'm pretty much with-others here, that your difficult child has made a decision that she's just not going to go for that church/religion. I still feel strongly, though, that our kids do something for others ... feeding the poor at Thanksgiving or whatever. I don't know if that would be a good enough substitute for you. I just know that it works for us. One thing about most churches (clearly, not the cult that Susiestar mentioned) is that they are supposed to be families that tie you to the community at large and give you a boost on Sundays, for the week to come. If it's something that takes your away from society at large, and makes you angry or confused, then it is the wrong thing to do. Your difficult child is in an angry place in her life right now. You do mention a lot of good opportunities. I think they sound like fun, very adventurous and great growth opportunities. Alas, our kids can't see that. I bet a kazillion dollars that if your difficult child had a crush on someone at your church, she'd find a way to go ... :) [/QUOTE]
