In reply to the discussion: Our daughter has been indoctrinated by the Fauxed and Christianed family she married into. [View all]ThoughtCriminal
(14,047 posts)123. Happened to us during the Bush II era
Our adult daughter called and went into a screaming tantrum because we did not want to go to their church. We never provoked or questioned their political and religious views. I suspected that a minister at their church may have had something to do with it. I was tempted to call the church and ask for a meeting but decided to leave it alone and let time pass.
She didn't talk to us for almost a year after that. We did re-connect. No apologies and the event is never mentioned, but it seems she learned an important boundary. We were not going to let her behavior change or provoke us.

That's tough, i can't even comprehend. It's like a cult and sadly you can't do anything.

I think it's difficult to remain in such a false world. The truth will makes its way through.

There is a thing about leaving a small amount--as stated above. I think judges consider that.
