I am a Christian. I dont go to Church a lot, but I believe. All I do, on a religious note, is evening prayer with my sons.
When i met dh he was Catholic. He insisted our sons were baptized in the Catholic Church. Our oldest started a Catholic School, when he started reception 2 years ago. My oldest believes in God and has a religious outlook.
Suddenly my dh resents this. He has changed his mind about religion, has decided God is bollox, and tries to convince our son the same. He says God is not real, you dont need God, you might as well pray to this cup of water, ridiculing our son. I think it is despicable, and pretty close to ground for divorce.
What can I say or do?
He is kicking up such a fight at bedtime, refuse that I do evening prayer with the boys.
HE wanted them baptized Catholic. He wanted them in Catholic school, now he is trying to convince them GOd is just imagination like Santa Clause.
I dont need to hear how ridiculous he is. I need practical help and suggestions to convince him he is doing the kids more harm by arguing about God in front of them, than by just letting me do the evening prayer.
