Could really use some help on how to tell family...

RE: Could really use some help on how to tell family...
Well just an update. Over the past few days my mother has undoubtedly brought god up. So far I have been just blowing her off. Like I did attend a revival meeting with her. Afterwords she asked "What did you think of the message?" I was like it was alright and made a comment that the preacher was REDneck. Which he was, I wasn't lying. Then I just walked away.

Though I have made this Sunday dooms day for my mother. As much as I hate to do it, I am just going to have to be the bearer of bad news and crush her heart. I just can't live bottled up like this anymore around her. I am a very outgoing person, and enjoy the fun things of life. When I am out with my friends or even just at work and being my true self I feel so free. Honestly, I know this is going to cause a riff between me and my mother for a bit. Though once we work through this and she still realizes I am her son regardless of belief. I think it will be best for both of us. If I don't do it civilly soon. Then one day I may as minimalist said just blow up and tell her to blow jesus out her ass. I'm hoping this to be a liberating thing. I'm also hopeful that my mother will appreciate my honesty, be thankful that she will finally know her real son, and not the facade I put up to keep from breaking her heart.

This is the only course I know to take because right now I have school to pay for, and well as immature as this is I like to have fun on the weekends with my friends.
