I grew up Christian, Once I turned 18 I moved out and went to college and am now 23. I consider myself agnostic, and live a decent life and am a good person.
My parents consistently try to control my actions. They call constantly trying to find out where I am. They try to press Christianity upon me in a hurtful way. They are constantly trying to make me feel guilty for going out occasionally and having--oh my god-- A BOYFRIEND.
I have respectfully told them that if I ever do decide to become a Christian, it has to be when I want to.
When they found out I was going to stay in a hotel w/ my boyfriend for a few days, they damn near called me a whore.
I'm exhausted of it all, I know they are fanatical (my older sister is the same way), but I don't want to resort to pushing my parents/family away anymore.
How can a situation like this be reconciled or ultimately or am forced to change who I am in order to not lose my family forever? How did you handle it. What were the conseque
