My parents would be worried and disappointed, but they wouldn't shun me or anything like that. They would still love me and treat me the same.
My husband would probably be the most effected by it, since he married a devout Catholic woman who shared his faith and agreed to raise the kids Catholic. He would have a very hard time dealing with it, and it would be an issue in our marriage, but I am positive he would never leave me.
Good question, btw. I had never thought about it before.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
