I had to distance myself from my mom recently. Last year I told her I’m no longer religious because I was tired of pretending. Recently I’ve gone through a bit of a hard time, and she texted me “maybe it’s time you give God another chance”.

She’s also subtly brought up religion in other ways. For example, this year I got into reading and she mentioned a book club the church has. I asked if she was thinking of joining and she said no. So I’m thinking she was trying to use that to push it on me.

Because of this, I’ve stopped talking to her for a bit. Has anyone else dealt with something similar? I’m feeling very frustrated and down about it. My mom and I have always been close, but this has put a major strain on our relationship.

Fuck yeah!

I’m tired of working a job that’s in office every day, but I don’t know where to start if I were to look externally. There aren’t a whole lot of remote positions available where I work. What do you do for work?

Do you give them a little buffer? Do you follow up?

For me, I’ll follow up but it can be a bit frustrating if you don’t hear back when you say you’ll hear back. What timeline do you *really* expect when you’re told something like this?
