Leaving a church that your family is devout in can make things particularly frustrating. Especially when leaving religion and the idea of god in general! I know, I was Mormon! Religion is a clusterfuck.I honestly kinda miss when my sister wasn't terribly religious, but now she's jumping in head first now that she's in a place with such a high concentration of biblically minded, and it's reminding me a lot of how I used to be. I just hope she doesn't crash as badly as I did.
My siblings have just came to the conclusions my parents have, which aren't precise by any means, but keeps their questions silences till they are old enough where I can speak of my ideas freely with them without family contraversy.
Welcome and best wishes to you!
(I left the church 10 months ago. Just three months ago things were still messed up. )
Strange how fast things can change. My parents still think I'll come around eventually, but it's difficult to make it clear just how massive the change was in mental processes. Mostly what I get to hear are their assumptions on what I think, without the actual interest in questioning if I think that way at all.
Terribly frustrating. *sends hugs*
