Religion

It used to scare me to death when I thought about the religious pulls on our relationship, my friends that belonged to your church used to terrify me with stories of families verbally abusing the girls that “led” boys off the path of righteousness. You always hesitated to talk about your dad, or the fact that your grandparents still refuse to accept his partner. It’s horrible to see a family collapsing upon itself.  I spoke to countless people on the process of converting to save our relationship, your mother never understood us, and how we could be so serious and believe different things. But honestly you have always been pulling away from it this was not my fault. And now that you have left me your family is in uproar. You are rebelling in ways your parents probably never thought possible, I think your mom realizes now I was your rock and I kept you from going to hell.
