I might come across that same situation some day. And, I don't know exactly what I'll say. I am praying fervently now, for God to provide the wisdom I'll need when that situation arises. I think that avoiding those rejection feelings depends on how you feel about the situation and how you communicate that to him. If you are complete in God...it will be easier for your child to find that same "completeness." If you feel empty and rejected, he may too. God wants us to be complete in Him and He does promise to supply our needs. Seek His guidance and understanding and words through prayer.
