huge fight over religion
Me (18M) got caught wearing a cross necklace when I went out with my friends by my parents (religious muslims) a few days ago on my dads canon camera. I forgot to delete the photos, my bad. Keep in mind, i am not religious nor practicing and have stopped believing since I was 13. On the morning of the incident, they called me to the study and showed me the pictures, obviously I had nothing to defend myself with so my dad started berating me on how I was a sinner and an apostate. I almost debated telling them the truth to which I gave up bcuz i didnt wanna be homeless lol.
To gather my mind for a while, I stayed at my sisters place (to which they arent on speaking terms rn) and collected my thoughts there. When I reached home and finally gathered up the courage to apologise, the first thing my mom said to me was “WHAT IF YOU DIED WEARING THE CROSS? NO ONES GONNA THINK YOUR‘E A MUSLIM.” And I was rlly taken aback bcuz how is my religion the first thing that u think of and not the DEATH of ur own child?. Now they're isolating me from my friends and i just feel rlly alone.
it’d be great to have some advice but its not rlly needed, this is moreso a place to vent about my frustrations and their inability to see their child that isnt their perfect god fearing child.
