I'm a catholic convert - converted during college. Went through what passed for RCIA at my college - being stuck in with the confirmation students and nothing was really explained well.

I haven't been to Mass since before I got pg with DD - who will soon be 2

.

I want to get back into the church, but it's like I just can't. I can't explain why - but in some ways it terrifies me to think about going. DD hasn't been baptized or anything either

, and I'm an unmarried single mom and I know thats a big part of it, as it the rather lengthy first confession I'd need to make. {Since that was another part they didn't cover when I converted}.

I kinda want to go through RCIA again, and maybe learn all the stuff I didn't learn the first time around.
