    I just sat and listened to my parents, mostly my mom, talk about how the Supreme Court ruling was threatening Christianity. They know how I feel. Do they not realize it hurts? It doesn't do any good to say "I love you" but not show at least a little compassion. I can handle it if they think I'm wrong. I don't want any of this to tear us apart. If they decide it's what they want, though, there's no way I can stop them.

    I just needed to vent. I've had to wade through a ton of fear-mongering on the internet, and I didn't want to deal with it at home.

    Are you out to them? If not they probably don't realize it hurts and only think you have different opinions. If you are though they are being very insensitive. Still, parents usually do come around. They don't want to tear the family apart either. Usually.

    I wish I had advice. My family doesn't know but it's non stop discussion at my house. I'm sorry :frowning2:

    Lindsey23: It's complicated. My dad knows, and my mom might. She was mostly the one talking. I hope this was just a lack of awareness on her part. Even so, I don't think that sort of thing is okay, whether I happen to be in the room or not.
