Forced into going to church?
#18
RE: Forced into going to church?
OP: You may have answered this, but alas, I did not read through the entire thread.... Sounds like you have the common 'my house, my rules' thing going on. Unfortunately for you, I would say if this is the case, grin (or don't) and bear it. If she's responsible for you she's got the power and right (so far as americans are concerned) to control you because she's your legal guardian. Or, that's not the case but you're staying there free....

I was lucky, mom (dad died when I was about 18 months) didn't do that. I mean, yeah, she did until I was, 6 or 7 or something. She said the same thing to my two older sisters as she did to me: "You're old enough now, you understand what god is and catholicism in general. I'm not going to force you to go to church, you make your own choice."

If you don't have that choice, you're stuck until you're not under her guardianship, or paying rent to her for a more equal place in the residence, or moved out entirely.


Emancipation is an option, but with very hefty consequences, and most definitely requires a shit ton of research before you even consider it.
