Religious Family Members (Rant)
I am sorry in advance, I need to rant so bad!!
Okayyy a little background: I recently moved back in with my parents so I can go back to school, save on rent, blah blah. I’ve had some issues in the past with my dad always wanting to preach to me because he found out I was gay. This was a few years ago and it definitely has gotten better after I moved out previously, but he still makes comments about Christianity All. The. Time.
So tonight my parents got home from church and I was just talking to my mom like I usually do. Me and her have a great relationships and she never tries to preach to me like my dad. Anywho, they were talking about a speaker at church and how he will take people to the zoo and offer the “biblical perspective.” I was like “please don’t tell me you guys believe the earth is 10,000 years old” and my dad was like “it is!!!”
I was already annoyed at this point and realized I shouldn’t have brought it up.
I then looked for solidarity with my sisters who don’t live here. They are also Christian but I didn’t think they were as deep into it as my dad. Turns out, they all believe it!!! I’m just dumbfounded by how idiotic they all sound. They are all sooo smart too so I’m very disappointed I’m the only rational one 🫠
Anyways… does anyone relate? Living with super Christian parents is sooo hard. I’m happy they don’t bring up me being gay anymore but they still always try to convert me. Send help 🥲
