As a kid, I was aware I wasn't allowed to play with 2 of my cousins, and their mom was not welcome in our home.
But I didn't know why.
Come to find out, their mother, my aunt, was divorced and remarried. Her second husband was welcome in our home (helped build our garage!) as he was only married once.
Funny now, but mom took the church stuff pretty seriously.
BTW, my 2 cousins there, the one that was AWFUL as a kid, a total brat, is now a respected school teacher, and his brother, the quiet, introspective one, is a high functioning alcoholic. Go figure. I'm not sure how religious their upbringing was, that family sure as hell did not go to our church, LOL!
