So if she has made up her mind, do what you said you would and let her have that decision. Stop trying to coerce/threaten/guilt/blackmail her into deciding otherwise.

@Lou2U

I need to clarify this, as I just realized left something important out of my OP. She made an agreement with the priest that she can be a Minister and not drink from the cup. So we are all — husband, daughter, and I — okay with it.

My daughter was in a bad mood one day and I asked her why and she said that the fact that my husband and I had warned her about getting sick from the chalice bothered her. That’s when I said, if we hadn’t said anything and she got sick we would feel like killing ourselves.

Same here. Traveling involves fasting and rest stops for me. My whole family is not good at traveling.

One for you.
 
Then what is the point of this thread in the first place? It’s already been sorted.

@Bananas. When are you seeing a therapist?

I told her, if we didn’t say anything to her and she came down with Hepatitis, we would want to kill ourselves! We wouldn’t be able to live with the fact that we didn’t tell her not to do it if she then contracted a serious disease! Couldn’t she understand that?!

I really don’t know what to do here. We gave her a choice but it doesn’t look like she’s going to make the right choice. Or am I being emotionally manipulative again?

The “right choice,” huh. I am going with emotionally manipulative…

I want to know if I handled this right since my parenting tactics have come into question.

Now that I have clarified, is my comment about wanting to kill ourselves still emotional manipulation?

Can you seriously not see how narcissistic this statement is? You didn’t even try to understand why your daughter was upset. All you could focus on was and is how you feel.
 
No, you didn’t handle this right. And you can clarify all you like, I stand by what I said. If you are still wondering why, read post 48 and every other post on this thread.

The solution is denying her the Eucharist in both kinds? Really?

And you still threatened to kill yourself. That’s so far beyond the pale you will get off the internet and book a family therapy session right now. You have no excuse, none, for the psychological damage you did to your daughter.
This is not about a family quarrel. This is about mental health. Get help. Now.

At the risk of having another thread locked and/or disappear, I’m going to try this once more since I have a question related to Catholicism.

but that ultimately it was her decision.

So why are you not accepting her decision?

How do you know she is making the wrong choice?
