Reply To: advice for dealing w/ christian dad as an athiest

I’ll try and talk to my mom about it. She does know about my panic attacks and she (not my dad) is the one helping me through them.

I am diagnosed with anxiety.

I did tell my dad and my mom about my religion because they were asking me to pray for a sick family member, however I haven’t told anyone else in my family. He says he’s only pushing me because he’s lonely, but you’re right (about him maybe pushing me because I told him im an athiest) or, without him knowing that, he would have pushed me because church is in religion.

I probably won’t go to choir.

The overwhelming friendship is another thing, and it’s more complicated.
