My family keeps pressuring me to go to church

But everytime they do that I get more and more distant and it makes me feel “unworthy” which makes me suicidal…😔 I just wish they’d stop

I'm so sorry. I grew up that way. My heart goes out to you.

Which church?

@GeistInTheMachine church of Christ

@Jokekilla Is that like Mormonism or Evangelical?

@GeistInTheMachine at this point I don’t even know. I’d rather go to a Catholic Church but my family is Christian.

@Jokekilla I feel you!

Jokekilla · 26-30, M

@GeistInTheMachine 🥺😔 I don’t like when they pressure me

GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M

@Jokekilla Me either. It's religious abuse.

Your best bet is trying to get away from them the best you can and be as independent as possible. Easier said than done sometimes. But that is your path to freedom. Leverage whatever you can.

@GeistInTheMachine I’m sure they do it cause I like guys…😔 I already struggle with that issue myself I don’t need others saying I’m going to hell

@Jokekilla I really hope you get out of there!

@Jokekilla I know how you feel, my mom used to say the same thing until I came out and said love is love and it took some time and she finally changed her mind.
Before my mom passed away she grew to love my boyfriend and they got along really well, my dad will do anything for us and all we have to do is ask.
No you aren’t going to hell because you like guys, be true to yourself and life will get so much better.
