I had to come to you all here regarding this because I have no other safe outlet. I know I've mentioned it to y'all many times, but I grew up Christian and my family still very much is and pushes it on me regularly... as you can see with the comment from my mother on this fb post I made last night. *heavy sigh* So, this is what I deal with constantly. It reeeeeeaaaaallllyyyy aggravates me but in order to keep things copacetic with my family, I just bite my tongue and nod. I'd love to be "out" as pagan, but I honestly don't think I ever will be until they're gone from this earth. It honestly brings me to tears rather often. Anyone else have these issues with family? How do you cope? How does it effect your journey as a heathen?
Not something I've had to cope with personally. I'm sorry it's a source of unhappiness for you at times, and like Elizabeth, I admire the strength you've shown. Your acceptance of the situation and your ability to find other things to be grateful for are admirable as well, and I believe those qualities (and the other strengths you possess) will serve you well as you continue to grow and evolve your spirituality.
