Further, you don't have to make a grand announcement. Just drift away. Make it a point to always have something else to do when they want to start their jesus crap. That should not be too hard to arrange.
I am moving on to college in two weeks so I will be out of the house thankfully. I am not dependent on their money either because I have a full scholarship to college. So, I do not think I will have much of a problem if they have a really negative reaction.
However, my brother still has to live with them for 4 more years. He has said to me that when I'm gone to college if they try to make him go to church he will refuse. So, I just feel like it is all going to come out at once in the wrong way.
Thanks for the advice by the way. I guess instead of announcing it ill just distance myself and if it comes out somehow then so be it.
