I feel awful :(
I am just beginning, at the age of 24, to explore my beliefs, which are mostly Christian. Over the last few months I've felt I would like to begin attending church, and today I broached the subject with my family (I still live at home).
My gran was lovely about it, and even told me where the church she attended as a girl is, and offered some advice.
My mum? Well, not good. She doesn't "get it" at all, she's been Christened but has never attended church, said "you're too old to be Christened, why on Earth do you want to go there?!"
Now there's a load of tension between us, and I wish I'd just kept my mouth shut, although my gran says I need to be able to speak my mind with her.
I don't talk about much with my mum because she's like this a lot. If she doesn't see the point of something, she'll just shoot you down.
So now, what do I do? Any attempts to go to church are going to be met with a lot of tension and stress in the house. Maybe I'll just wait and if I ever leave home, I can do what I like.
