Willow - Hello!
I already knew the atheists would agree, and hoped they wouldn't be too harsh with me. "Most" all of your comments have been so understanding, thank you SO much. It was a really, really hard post to make.
Willow - I feel that your doing all the right things. Just keep that all-important line of communication open, even when it's uncomfortable for you - I know it was for me at times.
Deconversion is a long and hard process. I swear I went through all the stages of grief, and then some. Just like it took us time, to see the truth, we have to expect it will, for certain, effect each of our kids differently.
Remember this, even if your kids don't want options right now, they still have them, and as they go through their own process, I think they will eventually appreciate that.
When the guilt sneaks in Willow (it will come and go), never forget that we did the best we could, with what we knew, at the time.
