Hello all.
I'm still trying to process what just happened.
I sat down with my mother to have a very long talk about what I believed. (She is, er, was? Catholic)
When I told her that religion all came down to faith, apparently that's what "got her."
This is definitely not at ALL what I expected.
I feel like I should be joyful but I'm actually rather nervous about just how much things might change...? I am SO used to being that "odd one out." This is just such a dramatic change.
Plus, she's had a lot of trouble with my dad and I guess I don't truly know the full story, but from what she has told me previously, he really does not deserve any further efforts to be reasoned with to try and save the marriage...she's sort of approaching this whole thing from a "oh well nothing really matters then" viewpoint I guess?? maybe? or maybe she really does want to keep trying with him... I just really don't know. I'm still shocked. I could use some words from someone else right now. Something to make me feel grounded again :')
