Some how the argument that ensued led to talk about my religious position, and i told them i was just a "questioning agnostic".Huh, failed did she?

My mom literally started crying, and talking about how she had failed at parenting and life because i wasnt a christian anymore..
My dad just about disowned me, and was yelling i could do whatever and he didnt care.
