A man has revealed his struggles and the decision to distance himself from his family due to their persistent attempts to convert him and his children to Christianity.
He shared that his mother once deceived him by saying she was taking his kids out for ice cream, only to take them to church instead.Now, they are upset with him and have chosen to cut off ties, refusing to associate with him any longer.
He wrote: “I am a single father-of-three. My family (mother, sisters, and grandparents) became extremely involved with the Christian church over two years ago. So much so that it has become a chore just to visit any of them since all they want to talk about is their religion. “When we get together it’s never ‘how have you been? How’s work? How are you?’ It is always ‘when are you going to join us at church? The Holy Spirit really helped me this week. Have you read the Bible I gave you?’. “
“I try to now distance myself from them as much as I can and just spend time with my kids. Last year my mother asked if she could take my kids to get ice cream and go to the park. Little did I know it was a church-related event and my daughter quickly called me to pick them up because ‘a man was speaking into a microphone and people were fainting all around them and crying to god’. That was the last time I let them go with my family alone.”
“I pulled my mom to the side and told her that this is not the place nor time for all of that. She apologized and they left soon after.”
“Everyone looked upset at me. Now I have them calling and texting me saying I should be ashamed of myself for ‘denying the lord to people’. I honestly want to just cut them all off because these past couple of years have been insufferable.”
