[qs mom]

I was raised Catholic. I went to Catholic school for grade school, CCD classes, everything.

After adopting my son, I really wanted to find a different Church. Maybe even a litle before. I tried to explain it to my mom. Please, nothing against the Catholic Church, but it just wasn't doing it for me anymore. I told my mom I wanted something smaller, more personal. She didn't get it.

I can across an ad for a food program at a Church nearby. When I went to apply for the food program, they had a sign on the door that if you came early, stop upstairs for some music and message. We went up.

My son and I love this Church! It is exactly what I was looking for. The singing is wonderful, everyone sings, not just the group on the alter. They have a band - bass, guitar, drums, keyboard, sax - very contemporary. I have to say the music and singing really keep me going for the week. The message just seems more personal, more timely. The people are so friendly. I went to my previous Church for my entire life. No one ever came up to me to introduce themselves. No one ever offered any words of encouragement. At my current Church, I've met tons of people.

But my mom is not happy. The reason - I'm attending a Baptist Church, not a Catholic Church. She hasn't said anything, but she isn't supportive.

Tonight, she had a huge attitude with me because we were going to Church for Good Friday service at 6:30 and she wanted to color eggs at 7:00. I told her we would come after Church.

She isn't aggressive. She just ignores me when I talk about Church or Church events or people I've met at Church. She will change the subject. It's really starting to bother me. I don't know how to tell her that she's being hurtful to me and that my son truly enjoys going to Church, Sunday school, Jr Church and Church events. He was so proud of himself after singing for the elderly at a sr. home, but because it was with Church and not Scouts, grandma really had nothing to say. This is really going to hurt him when he realizes what she's doing.

How do I get through to her?

Anyone else have this issue?
