I feel kind of awkward that he's proud of a lie, but he can't handle the truth, my entire family can't handle the truth.
There are others in worse situations than me, but I can't help but be scared of the future. I really want to come out some day, but at the same time I'm afraid of their reactions. I told myself that it will not matter after I'll become financially stable, but everytime someone close to me tells me that christianity is good I feel awkward.
I told my parents that I didn't like church at all aound 9-10 y o. I still stook with yourh groups because it was fun and there really wasn't much god talk. Masses are boring.
I do believe being honest is better for you, or it will rot you inside keeping a lie. And if your parents are trying to be christ-like they won't disown you.
