Today is diwali and I have gone through the motions of doing the praying, firworks etc....mainly to please my mum. I am 31 and I live with my mum but making plans over the coming months to leave. Is thisa the best response..to go along with it....my mum brought us up to be religious so she would be offended and see me as a black sheep if I do not the tow the line. Gradually over the years I have stopped believing in religion per se although I do respect the underlying constructs..its all the tradition , festivals etc which I find I cannot stand. I have lived at home since 2000 and feel I have missed out on a lot of fun which my white work mates get up to and this has been beause there is strong emphasis om me doing things with the family rather than by my self. Plus my mum took all my money. Everything is going to change as I am lieing to move away from her as I feel I have no identity of my own and no con fidence to make my own decisions and do my own
thing.Am I doing the right thin
