atheist looking for advice
#25
RE: atheist looking for advice
It is a difficult situation, it must be hard to live at home and feel like you can't be yourself.
For now it might be best to just leave it, after all, is it really necessary to "come out"?

Of course, this does not mean that you have to agree with them on this subject, if they ask things of you that you are not comfortable with, you can always explain to them that you are not up for it. I don't know if they force you to go to church with them for example? Or if they expect you to do certain things based on religion.

I would say to make sure you have your arguments ready, and present them without screaming or name calling. Keep calm and explain to them why you disagree with something they expect of you. They are your parents, and I am sure they care about you. It is very difficult that they disagree, but screaming and name calling will certainly not make them listen to your or your arguments.

Of course, I do not know if any screaming/name calling is happening often, but it sounds like a situation where it occurs, or might occur. And I think it is a thing better prevented, for as far as it is in your hands. Dialogue is always better Smile
