Hey everyone. I know I pulled a disappearing act, but there's been a good reason. Following up on Hide or Leave, my mom decided that it wasn't just enough for me to put anything physical out of the house. No, the fact that I worship other gods is offensive to hers, so I had the choice to give up what I believe, or find somewhere else to live.
I tried every logical angle I could think of to try and make her realize that the choice she was forcing me to make was extremely unethical, but when it came down to it, all that mattered to her was "I understand that, but it's my house". Which it is. But that didn't make hearing "if it comes down to a choice between you or God, I'll choose god", any more hurtful or surprising to hear. I never asked her to make that kind of a choice--I never would.
So, in the last few weeks, I took the first apartment I could find, and i'm working on moving into it (I couldn't get anyone to help me with furniture until this coming weekend). I'm exhausted, betrayed, and overall bitter.
