Thanks for all the sweet words of welcome. I love that I now have a safe place to feel support!
To answer Roy’s question, my sister that is inactive is on my side, which is much more accepting than my husband’s side. We are very close with all my siblings, including her and her husband, but I know my mom is heartbroken that sis is “falling away”, because she (my mom) calls me and tells me all the time. On my side, we are more concerned about hurting my parents; on my husband’s side, we’re more concerned about his parents never accepting it and nagging us for the rest of our lives.
But for now, we are happy to find a balance in attending church and being active without being literal believers.
Thanks again!
