For the devout Catholic parent, often nothing is more challenging to one’s faith than having a child leave it when they become an adult. You did your best in raising your kids in the Christian faith and can’t comprehend what went wrong.
It’s unsettling when parents see their son or daughter abandon the faith they were brought up in, but the key is to accept that your child’s decision is not simply the result of any lack in raising them in a good Catholic home.
Allison Ricciardi, LMHC gives some helpful advice on how to respond to this difficult situation.
Allison is also the Founder and President of www.CatholicTherapists.com, and CatholicLifeCoaches.com, which provide nationwide networks of screened and dedicated Catholic therapists and Catholic life coaches.
