[QUOTE="Steely, post: 484538, member: 3301"] Malika -I had a very strong faith up until Matt was around 8. Truthfully, it was watching him struggle day in and day out, and me praying day in and day out for 8 years that started to extinguish my faith. I had already prayed half my life away for X, with no resolve - and then to do it with Matt - I just broke. I decided that although I still had a faith of some sort - it was now TBD. I still clung a bit to prayer changing everything - but it was more a coping tool I had learned, like meditation. I had to completely re-structure my entire concept of religion, and it is still a WIP. However I did give up the hope that "God" was going to change him, and/or heal him - from that point forward it just was what it was. [/QUOTE]
