Congratulations on getting your children back. Are you sure they're not just trying to help you?

Be gracious - they are trying to be nice. Gently tell them that the church/group etc is not what you want right now, but that you appreciate the sentiment. The more confident and 'together' you come across, the more they'll respect your wishes and leave you be!

Maybe they think you will have good advice from your own experience?

Well done op for getting your kids back. Sounds like your friends are being nice and trying to help you. They sound like really good people so I'm sure if you explain how you feel they will listen to you. Or, you could go and see what it's like?

Perhaps they think that you could be inspirational to others who are going through what you went though. I would take it as a compliment, as it means your friends are proud of how much you have achieved in the last couple of years.
