Oww its real freeing when your parents know and then do anythign they can to make you miserable, becuase they feel you are in "cult". I wish my mother was just fucking clueless. then yhou ahve the guilt trips for me refusing to be their puppet and instead decided to go indepentent so i be happy.
You cannot control how your parents feel your lifestyle, kitten. But you can control how you let it affect you. It's not an easy thing at all, but many people do find it in themselves to say "piss off" to those who would judge them or try to control their lives. Yes, even relatives. No, this isn't an ideal situation for everyone. In some cases, it's probably better to keep your family in the dark about certain things. But as one person who's been mostly honest and upfront with his family, I can tell you it really IS freeing not to have to lie or keep your whole life a secret from the people close to you. I can tell you some of my family don't approve of my lifestyle. Mostly, they just don't understand it. But for the most part, they seem to accept that this is part of me, and it doesn't seem to affect how they feel about me or how I am treated by them.
The one person who tried to tell me that my lifestyle is wrong was my sister. I told her in no uncertain terms that this is my life, that she doesn't have to understand it, but that she can't change it either. We had some rough patches once when I was staying with her and she thought it was her job to fix my broken life, but we got over that. We get along fine now, except for the usual annoying sibling stuff. She minds her own business for the most part.
