I met a Native American online and have some questions regarding the culture, to see if he has these beliefs because of his ethnicity, as he claims, or otherwise. He thinks I have not "cut the apron strings" with my grown children (mid-20's) who live out of state because I talk to them about once a week by phone. He thinks I am intrusive when I try to talk about how he feels about things. The best (worst?) one is, he is planning on leaving his family Christmas Eve & Christmas Day to stay alone in a motel with his spirits, always does this, does not like holidays. He says these beliefs are part of his spirituality & seems to think I cannot understand his spirituality since I am Caucasian. I believe I have a good relationship with God & am spiritual, but also enjoy being around people, especially my family. He wants to be free to go & do as he pleases anytime, anywhere so he can spend time with the spirits that surround him. Which one of us is off-base here? Serious replies only please
