I have a daughter who is twelve years old. My husband and I recently are separated and going through a divorce, due to his repeated unfaithfulness. The whole thing kind of got out, and everyone at my church knows about what happened, and because of that, my husband has opted not to attend church there anymore.
I think that my daughter is also embarrassed. She has been attending church with a friend for the last three weeks. She says that they have more youth and alot of people from her school attend there, but I feel that part of it is she's ashamed by what her dad did.
I keep trying to talk about it with her, but she gets frustrated and says, "I just want to go to church with (friend's name), okay?!" I don't want her to hold these feelings in, but I don't want to push her.
Should I just let her keep attending church with her friend's family until she's ready to confront her feelings?
