(January 14, 2015 at 3:36 pm)IanHulett Wrote: My only problem, is now my dreams of wanting to become a Christian Singer Songwriter are shattered, I now believe that when my family passes, that's it. I'll never see them again, I'm too afraid to come out to my mother as an Atheist because none of my siblings ended up remaining Christian and I was her only success story, and I don't want to break her heart, and I worry my Christian girlfriend will be forced by her parents to break up with me, or she'll break up with me herself.

So, here I am, new atheist, depressed, trapped and now asking, how do you cope with all this? Thanks a bunch.

Firstly, start writing songs about your journey. Document it in music, make that music your diary. Pour your heart into it. You'll get some keepers.

Secondly, tell the truth to your mother and to your girlfriend. Do you really want people loving you for who you aren't?
