[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Values matter more than religion. By values, I mean is she kind, helpful, selfless, positive / glass half full, and any others that you think important. Those are not qualities of one religion vs. another.

Be 100% supportive or else it will severely impact your relationship with your child and their significant other.[/quote]

I do see how devastated parents can feel (and I agree it is the grandchild not being raised in the religion that hits them the hardest)- but there is literally nothing you can do. Having “grandchild who are my religion” is not a choice available to you. There are only two choices (1) be outwardly supportive and have a good relationship with son and his kids- who are not being raised in my faith or (2) create lots of drama and strife over it and NOT have a good relationship with your son and grandkids- who are still not being raised in your faith.

He will decide what he wants to do and you just don’t have any influence here other than how you react. [/quote]
