NG,
There are ways to work around sunday morning mass.
My XH had the kids every other weekend, he lived 2 hours away. They did not attend church with his new family. After I picked them up on sunday evening..I took them to a church that had a youth service on sunday evenings.
Eventually, when they were to attend confirmation and communion classes on Saturdays..and a lot of those Saturdays were his weekends, they would miss. The DRE and the youth director held special classes for my kids and a few others (about7 kids) so that they could get their instruction. The youth director also asked the youth pastor to hold a youth mass between the middle school and high school youth groups. It meant I was running thru the drive thru for dinner on those weekends XH had the kids... but it was working for my kids. What's a little burger king or Wendy's for sunday dinner.
I will pray, but be open to opportunities that present themselves, even if they are a bit unconventional. The kids in that particular group are still very close to that youth director and his wife, there have been 3 or 4 youth directors since he left our church 6 years ago.
Hugs,
K

My XH is a SA. He's addicted to porn, some of the most nasty shit. My son walked in on him watching it when he was only 4 yrs old. He was ordered not to use a computer around the kids. That didn't stop him.
My other problem was the OW. She is a freaking nut case who has a criminal record that includes assault. She tried to run someone over with her car.
For awhile I was able to keep her from the kids but that changed when they got married. Not that he followed that order either anyway.
The GAL told me that the court system would not do any thing until something happened to the kids. Meaning, he molested them or the OW abused them.
It took less than 6 months for the OW to abuse my DD.
There's not really much you can do about the religion. The courts don't get involved in it. It sucks, I know!
I think...therefore, I'm single.
It is what it is.
