I was saying that because it would give you independence and that's what you may need. You would be in a totally different environment and meet new people who don't give so much importance to things like your religion, etc. It would only be temporary. I mean, that's what I did when I didn't know what to do and got tired of my life in Spain. It turns out I learnt English and got a degree in the UK (nearly, I'm finished in 3 weeks), and now I'm going to live to Japan with my gf (who I also met here). So I'm glad I changed to a crappy life for a while. I found out I liked crappy independence over a comfortable life without it, it made me much happier. I understand this may not be for everyone, though. Anyway, if you can't do that for whatever reason or you don't like the idea (which is cool), you could just travel as you said during the summer. Give yourself one month. Give your parents time to think and to miss you. Reassure them that you'll at least celebrate christian holidays with them and will respect their beliefs. I mean, I celebrate xmas because it's an excuse to meet with my family, even though 80% of them are atheists. And, ultimately, you are who you are, that's it. Don't let your parents or anyone screw with your life. Will they let you out of their lives forever? In that case, what can you do? It's not your fault. Eventually, I'm sure they will accept you, because they will want to keep their son I imagine. |
Well, you sure gave some very interesting suggestions. I'll take note of them, and definately give that independence thing some more thought. Might be just what I need...
I like to celebrate Christmas too, but it has no religious meaning to me (it's actually older than Christianity so...), and I like most holidays anyways (they break the routine and all). I'll still celebrate all the commercial ones with my parents. 
I definately won't let my parents run my life, I'm just playing this little charade to make my existence easier for the time being. Anyways, it's higly likely they forgot about me going to confession and communion, so I think I'm safe for now.
