If you had believed in the existence of Santa Claus into your 40's, and then endured abuse and been disowned when you finally realized that it was all bullshit, you would probably be a little pissed off too. If you were then constantly subjected to Santa believers who keep quoting his naughty list and keep telling you that you should believe, after you have told them over and OVER that you don't believe, you would probably be a little pissed off too. You can believe in an all-knowing purple unicorn that poops candy and sparkle dust for all I care, none of my business, I hope you're happy. But the third time you imply that I need to believe and read the PU's comic book, we have a problem. A big one. Because that shows that you think I am stupid, deluded, incapable of choosing my own beliefs and desperately in need of your help.
And your snide remark implying that I must have mental/emotional issues (because in all purple unicorn fanatic's minds, the purple unicorn is the only way to happiness and all non-believers are poor, deluded, angry, sick, sad humans who NEED you to lead them to PU, don't chya know) -- back to your old assholery again, just as expected.
You have every right to be angry, but you don't have the right to take it out on people who you haven't proven are guilty.
There is no shame in anger from abuse.
I don't think you are stupid or deluded. Being disowned is one of the worst human experiences.
