me too. lol.
thanks AB!
we talk occasionally and get together with them and my sister’s family for holidays and birthdays. but its often tense. as long as we talk about the weather and my nephews things are fine. if i were ever to bring up any of this, the relationship would be done. thirteen years ago when this all happened, my grandparents (dad’s parents) told my parents they should probably be a little kinder and more understanding of me, even if they disagree with my actions. that was the last time my parents have spoken to them. they don’t handle correction well at all. or disagreement. so as long as we only say things that they agree with, we can have some sort of relationship with them.it will be fun when we have kids and say “no, they are not allowed to come over and stay with you unsupervised because we don’t trust you farther than we could throw you.”

his responses in your shorter conversation together are sad.
I love how clearly you separated what you believe by topic. I may have to steal that my old church constantly said things like “we want to reach out to our community” but couldn’t even manage to talk to people outside their own small group.
i just get lost around here. lol. and Hi Brian! nice to meet you
i’m trying to venture out of FBland.also, i get stressed out because i never know where to post. what if my post starts out as chit chat but ends up as spirituality and atheism? do i post it in each category? it seriously stresses me out. i like boxes. but only when my thoughts fit in them which is almost never.
i wish i knew the answer. part of me thinks it comes with time. but i’ve seen many people ignore issues and pains and end up worse for the wear many years later. so, it cannot possibly be time alone. i tend to think that it is a combination of time, willingness, others input, our own desire for change, etc…
i’m adding my voice in the hopes that others will have thoughts to further my journey towards the answer of the same question.
this is great!
weird. half my post is missing…
I went on to say we all have to follow the timing we feel us best in regards to coming out and no one would want to pressure you to do it when you aren’t ready
completely makes sense. it’s hard to know how to come out. the process for me has been slow and I’ve never officially come out on FB. if someone looked through y likes they’d probably figure it out, but up to this point I haven’
dechurched: I stepped in shit, then wiped it off and walked away
I look forward to reading the book as well!
I don’t have answers but I can relate. our financial issues have been mostly from my health issues (miscarriages & foot related disability) and the multiple jobs I’ve lost as a result of those issues. we are a long way from being out of this financial sinkhole and it can often get discouraging because while we have fought to get ahead it seems it doesn’t matter what we try, something will happen to knock us down again. I’ve had to learn to find joy in the little things because the big ones seem overwhelming most days. wish I could snap my fingers and just make it all go away… for all our sakes. =/
pretty sure this is the funniest thing I’ve read all week. the 10% discount is perfect and throwing souls into cornholehell is also a wonderful spin on a classic game. can’t stop laughing.
