Coffeemom,

I have two teens - 16 and 13, and in the last year - they've changed their minds about God and church.

It has been very hard for me - I feel like I don't fit in with the "christian community" as a mother...my kids aren't the perfect children attending Sunday school.

I've decided to let go and trust God. I can't stand fighting to drag them to church anymore. I need to go to church for me. And having angry children beside me is distracting and painful!

I can't tell you how many moms I've talked to who have gotten to the other side, and their children are NORMAL, product children who love God.

I think it's just important to let them be who they are, and discover their own path.

Keep the faith sister..this two shall pass!
