    Today, I was discussing religion with my parents. My mom said that I should join a Catholic church when I grow up, and I said that I don't support Christianity. She countered by saying that I've gone to church and liked it. I said that I never really liked church. She said that she's made me into a 'religious freak'.

    I told her that I'm sorry for being so flippant about her religious views. She replied by saying that it's her fault for making me into a 'freak', and that I've changed so much she has no idea who I am.

    As of now, we're not talking. She's mad, and I'm mad. My dad sides with me, and is trying to reason with her.

    I'm just really upset right now.

    You're not a freak, and there is nothing wrong with you. She is the only barrier standing in the way of getting to know you.

    Ugh, religious mothers. I know how that is, don't worry you're fine. You have your own beliefs and that's all that matters, right?
