I wish life didn't have to be so hard sometimes @Road to Nowhere. It's not fair and I hope it gets easier for you very soon.
i was a catholic until i was 21 and back then jesus was the son of god and our savior but who knows about now. i will admit
even though catholics knew it was seperate entitys they often confused the two and interchange them

you're not alone @Road to Nowhere
when i say my prayers ( at least once a day ) i usually pray to god but sometimes i pray to jesus seperately. and when i want to talk to someone i love that went home i ask god or jesus to tell them what i say. i quit the catholic church or 2 reasons.
1. too many collections. i didn't mind putting money in the basket , even the second collection. when they did a 3rd collection i was pissed and on the 4th i walked out.
2. we wanted to baptize our daughter and make my brother the godfather. they told me they wouldn't baptize my daughter unless my wife fully converted from salvation army. we explained our kids would be raised catholic and my wife would be going to church consistantly. so i gave up
i was actually an alter boy and was thinking about the priesthood. the priest came to the house and helped me along the way as a teen but i realized i could not be celibate lol.

Can you keep them separated, by any chance? Or is that out of the question, and unreason (or feasi) able? Hoping it all turns out Ok, Lane! : ) You've got a great Heart. She's fortunate to be able to count on you. And people will use that as an excuse not to... check oneself in, and take care of themselves like that/or in that way... Well, I've got this excuse, which is perfectly good & so on. So I just can't do it, I just can't go. It's been taken out of my hands (the decision). So good on, and for, You Miss L. Ms. L? I know it's not, Mr.'s? Or is it!

Hope you've got some good tunes to keep you company this evening! And if not, I've got a pleathora (sp?) of them spread all about - or is it, out & about - this forum. I'm sure you get the deal-i_O. 
I'm totally tongue-in-cheek, joking there about my good taste in music, of course! It certainly pales in comparison to yours, my fine fine friend. No where near, as well-read, or whatever the equivalent of that is then (here). . . ( : Be kind to yourself, and gentle; Yes- that would be a wise & very good thing for you to do, I think... And if it is not, or it is missing the mark? Then never mind my arrogance & attitude & supreme form of egotism, always and so often on display! I wish I could ignore my-self, some~times^ BUT? Wish in one hand, & dot dot dot__

you're on a roll at the moment, @MisterBGone , but, where to? which hill?
Well, that's just like, one guys' opinion, man... & it's not like, by the sound of things, he is an overly-smart/wise/intelligent-or superlative individual. Nor does it reflect very well on his character. Which may or may not have just been revealed. Perhaps it is something of a bit of xenophobia, rearing its ugly head? Or perhaps not. Perhaps he is jealous, or envious (of you all) - & this is his way, or how it is coming out "sideways." As in, unintended, but yet - also - as I said before, very revealing in his own side of human nature. Or something similar/to that effect~ (edit* I was going to say, this was his way of showing it...)
All of these life lessons AND More - expert opinions, dissections, & reviews; tips & suggestions, unsolicited advice - et cetera~! Free & at no extra charge, available upon request. Could've just been his passive-aggressive nature, too. So that was his way of taking a 'subtle-dig,' at you guys. Bleep him! ;D He sounds like a Loser to me. There it is, and you now have the answer definitively. So you need not analyze it further, or worry or trouble your head with his nonsense. Trust me, I- ...I don't know if I read people for a living, per se? But I, I- (now I forgot what I was going to say!)... but I fell I've said ENOUGH. Kind of like that terrible movie, w/J-Lo! Didn't see it? Don't... I hope you have a very pleasant day, free from harrassment & other such things princess. Take care now.

At the end of the day, all you can do is the best that you can do (& clearly have)... & they're going to choose what it is that they choose... So, there's not a lot you can do to change that. Ultimately, you can influence them and persuade them, help them to try to see the light, or the error in their ways (only so much). For it is up to them to then decide that they wish to follow through on such things and then (to) implement them. So while it feels as if the burden lies with you. It does not. They are responsible for their own behavior(s). And sometimes, there's not a lot that you can tangibly, or credibly do, to make a difference - again, in the end.
Sorry for sounding so morose. But that is my opinion, and my view - or take - from having been on both sides of it. . . You're right to not let it fester, or it will continue to eat away at you (when there's really nothing you can do) and eventually, or up until it consumes you. And that there then is never a fun place to be. Take it from me. You'll go insane. Or feel as though you have (driven yourself there). . . So you have got to protect yourself, choose wisely, set up boundaries and understand where they lie, and simply "how much is too much?" Or when you think you have strayed too far~
Now wait a second? Why are you saying it's shameful, again? And what exactly, do you mean by it? That you somehow are? Because I hope you're not (feeling that way & implying something else entirely). I just can't read & interpret (isn't that comprehend? ) any-thing, right now. Please forgive me. I know not what I do... : )
