[quote=Anonymous]What I have done in this situation is really embrace the extended family. We became close with my aunt and uncle who I would have said I barely knew growing up. I’m 50 years old, and a month ago, I reached out to a younger cousin that recently had a baby and connected with him and his wife. We had a really good visit, and so my husband and I are going to try to start seeing them a few times a year. We also are church people. I’m not religious, but my husband is. I’ve really embraced our church family even if I’m not doctrinal. And I’m open with our kid about what I don’t like about organized religion. I do recommend possibly trying again with another church. But for church to work, you have to really dive in. It isn’t about showing up for one hour on Sunday for a service. It is about attending Sunday school, being part of a marriage enrichment group, volunteering with rhe kids or other ministries etc.[/quote]
