Just finished talking to WH & said Aal of us went to church again & carry in dinner. WH said why are the kids now going to church with you, but never wanted to go with me before (A was exposed).<p>I said maybe they knew something just didn't feel right like I did. For the last year it was hard to sit through a sermon and not start crying, because I just knew something was not right. Didn't know what but just had a feeling, so often I stayed home while WH went to church by himself. <p>The church was a major attraction between WH & OW (Different towns & churchs). They thought I was an atheist, because I wasn't saying all the church things or particiaping in church activities. I tried to get kids to go, but it was like WW III, other things to do. <p>Do you think I said to much or should I have just let the thought go through his own mind. If WH even wants to think about church. WH hasn't gone to church now since 2 months before we separated. I know this is going to come up again when we attend church next time, how would you respond. It is really kinda funny, because before getting them to church S-15 & D20 + visiting Daughter's BF was really hard. Now it seems like they just expect to go & no big deal.

No need to beat yourself up over it, or think anymore about it. What you said was truthful and TO THE POINT.<p>God Bless,

Thanks, Lupolady, my goal lately was to really try & not "educate". I didn't know if that qualified as such - Thanks for your input now & in the past.<p>Honey - I do know now - how you have the strength you have - You are enveloped with god's love. You help so many with your responses. I have just now started to help others by responding. <p>One thing that I had a problem with in the past, I hated to do things for show. If it is what I honestly felt, there was never a problem and God's love is one of them. I knew the times that I didn't go to church, that I was still in the presence of God. I do have a problem if I think that things are shallow or if things just don't feel true.<p>Lupolady & Honey - We can do all things through Christ who strengths us. I now he has shown & given me much to be thankful for I am now longer exploding.
