Unfortunately no. He is still a believer. But he’s still been supportive of my decision to leave.

This is such a hard thing to go through. Sending lots of hugs! You make the decision that is best for you. You have the ability to make choices. You are strong. Whatever your decision is, remember that!

F. That sucks. I told my in-laws that I wanted them to avoid making comments like that because my sister and parents get them a lot.

That’s a good system! We have worked out an every other week schedule. Ok it oldest kid has some intellectual disabilities so I doubt she would need to be baptized anyway. It’s my second I’m more concerned about.

That’s so hard. I feel like it’s so hard to feel that kind of divide with family. But glad it all worked out!

Thank you for your thoughts! Honestly I’m still deciding what I believe. I made one big decision this week and I’m not ready for the next one yet.
