Dealing with Religious Family Members
#10
RE: Dealing with Religious Family Members
Lol I love the idea of just yelling "Grace"! That made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the advice, especially using the "I" instead of "You" - that makes a lot of sense. Next time I see her I'll take her aside and have a conversation. I have no doubt there is a part of her that believes she is right and I'm wrong, but she's a kind enough person that I think she'll at least keep that to herself and be accommodating. It's a weird situation for me because by circumstance and by choice I'm generally surrounded by like minded or free thinking people, and encountering this kind of rabid faith is always a little disconcerting. It's like going back in time .
