So, my parents force their beliefs on me. When I was 12, I came out to them as bisexual. I told my mom and she said that I was too young to even be thinking about that, but my psychiatrists have said 12-14 is when people stary exploring themselves. I told my dad and he gave me the whole "It was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve".
My parents are mildly Christian. After a few long hard months of exploring myself, I found out my religion. I told my parents that I was spiritual, not religious. My mom said if you worship nature, why not worship who made nature. I was highly agitated. I then asked my dad if I could not say the blessing at dinner anymore to exercise my freedom of religion. On multiple occasions afterwards, I was forced to say the blessing. His excuse was "I want you to have a connection with God."
A few years after that, I discovered that I am gay. I am at the point in my life where I can't tell my parents that without having a blowup (we are a dysfunctional family).
My BFF is also exploring herself, and she also can't tell her parents anything because her parents are worse than mine.
Anyways, just wanted to rant
