Sorry dude. Good luck with the family situation.

Terrible advice...

You don't know the whole story; I don't trust that were getting the whole truth from someone who refers to themselves as 'Suffering23'.

If you’re looking for accurate/applicable advice, you do. No one here is a mind reader. And we don’t really do pity parties.

I believe we are seeing the vagaries of self pity. C'est la guerre.

There was no hesitation or second thought. She puts Jesus before her children.

I feel cheap and hopeless. I cannot process it. I do not want a relationship with her anymore.

Someone please make me feel better

Don't dispair.  Pat yourself on the back.  The fact that your Christian mother loves Jesus more than you means you've beaten Jesus in terms of reality in your mother's eyes.

You're probably gone, but I'll chime in anyhow. Like M1 and likely some others on ere, I am disabled. Sorry I keep talking about it so publicly lately, but sometimes I think it's relevant. I have thoracic level spina bifida. It is incomplete, so I can walk with crutches, and have feeling, and...well...never mind.

I hate to think you're giving up on us all. Most of us are atheist. A few aren't. And I'm not the only the disabled person here. M1 has some wonderful posts on here. You have potential friends if you meet us all part way. Like I suggested earlier, maybe do an intro thread. Tell us about you. The more facts relevant to your gripes on this thread, the better.

You rely on your parents for rides, if I understand correctly. I use mainline transit busses, and am also signed up for my local paratransit (also run by the transit district). I do ride with my parents for certain things, but that's more family time than anything. Can you explore your public transit options? Or some non-profit ride-providers? That alone might diffuse some tension. You won't have to be around your mother so much. That exact think is rather important to me, since my mother and I haven't had the best history either (not religious issues, thank gawsh).

I'm sorry you had to experience that. 

I stopped talking to my mother 8 years ago. Best thing that I ever did. Sometimes, you have to know when toxic people are too toxic to be in your life. Even if they are family. 

Hugs and hang in there. It gets better once these people no longer have a foothold in your life.

From what you’ve given here, I don’t see nothing to be alarmed about. Find out what she means by the statement, and realize that it may mean something different to you.

It could be a misunderstanding.

Sounds high key to me

If that's considered low key, what do you think high key looks like?
