My sister-in-law sends me all these emails from AFA (The American Family Association). This site gay bashes, and pushes religon down your throat. It really makes me mad that these people think that if you believe in different things than them you are the scum of the earth. Anyways, back to my sis-in-law. I would ignore the emails but it pisses me off everytime I get one and Im starting to dislike her . What can I do about this? If she knew that I have gay friends and that I cant stand holy rollers, it would probably cause a lot of tension in the family between us. But I just cant stand the fact that she sends me these emails, it makes me realize that she knows nothing about me and would hate me if she really knew me.

Find a site that promotes tolerance and send her emails from there. Make sure it's an intelligent site and informative. Delete her emails and never mention it unless she brings it up.

I can so relate to this problem since I have it, but with a neighbor not a relative. I too would get very annoyed reading this born again Christian stuff. I told her a million times I don't think being gay is wrong and other issues. I finally fired an email back at her (it was by some born again Christian kook who thought tvs were sinful) and she went nuts. She typed me about a nine page letter saying this is her life, etc. I simply don't discuss religion with her because she is brainwashed.

My best friend gave valuable advice to me when I had a similar problem.
1/ Delete the e-mails. Eudora has filters. And dont get pissed. Just take action upon it, and then forget all about it.
Also you cud:
2/ Ask your sis-in-law (nicely), how come she knows so much about sexual orientation and is she judgeable, herself, as a religious person.
3/ Send exact copies of the e-mails back. She'll get the message, or, you cud ask her how it feels to keep receiving them back.
4/ Ask her about freedom and does she have any and how'd she like it if her choices of freedom was put into question. And whether its anyone else's business anyways.

Tolerance. it truly is the most ideal lesson because, to a particular quantity, you marry kin. I doubt that this may result your daughter any better than you let it. after all, you and your husband are regularly happening position fashions. specially, i'd attend as few activities as plausible (once you're ignored you could vioce your soreness, quite with the wild habit and alcohol intake, and its result on your efficient baby). it is puzzling to face as a lot as in-guidelines, yet you would experience a good purchase better in case you addressed this privately and dispassionately including your mom-in-regulation and husband modern. good success. You sound like an effective mom.

I think you should sit her down and have a heart to heart and tell her how you feel. She shouldn't hate you because you have kindness in your heart. If she was a christian she wouldn't be doing the things that she's doing. God doesn't discriminate against people, he made them the way they are. So just talk to her and maybe she'll still feel the same way, but won't push her views on you.

Try asking your parents or trusted friends. Also try putting yourself in her shoes. Would you get mad???
Easy way no hurt feelings- make another email address and tell her you changed your email and she'll emial you there. Never check it!
