This is a touchy subject for many good, Catholic families, including my own. I think we are all struggling with these issues the best we can, given the prevailing culture around us. Our adult children have strong influences affecting them that we can’t control. I don’t know the answer except to continue to set a good example, pray for them, and speak up for our Christian values. It sounds like you did just that.

My daughter moved into the house with my granddaughter who is now 7 after her husband left her. She was not the best of house guests and lived with us for almost two years.
She eventually found a boyfriend and was saving money to get an apartment together and decided on her own that he was going to move into our house also under the guise of saving money.
I would not stand for it. It was bad enough that they were going to move in together which I did not approve but this gentleman was not going to move into our house. It was not right.
Well that relationship died and eventually my daughter moved out and yes with another man.
She was not raised that way and I do not like the example that she gives my granddaughter who has not been baptized because her mother does not go to church.
All her mother and I can do is give example, express disapproval and pray for them. I pray especially for my granddaughter who has a less than stellar example from her mom.

I pray that God would strengthen us to stand up for what is right and continuously pray for proper values for Christians.
