Telling my parents

[bennyboy]

I do not know how and when to tell them I am no longer a believer. I have to tell them because they are so against sex before marriage and cohabitation that they need to know I don't think its wrong because I am an athiest. They are super close minded and will be very angry and sad and there will be lots of arguing. Does anyone have any advice or been in a similar situation?

Thank you!

Here are the steps:

1) Tell them. Doesn't matter how, and doesn't matter if you even want to. It's just going to happen.
2) Listen to the tears and prayers. Shout at them, have a big fight, enjoy the drama.
3) Years later, perhaps when you are about to have your first baby, call your mother. Mothers like babies.

Seriously, though, nobody here can give you good advice on how to get through it. It will be very hard, and will involve a lot of stress, and by going through it, you will earn the right to call yourself an adult.
