Decisions

I am sorry that my convictions have caused pain. I have had to decide to choose the exposure of my younger children to behaviors of others that I disagree with against keeping a relationship with immediate family members.  Almost 20 years ago I stopped talking to my sister and by default her children who live locally because I feel she was and is a bad influence.  My kids do not know their first cousins. Oh well... That is a decision I made. This new decision is on the same page. Ironically, the child I was protecting then is the one now as an adult that has hurt me. She may have a different  opinion but it is my choice.
