Miscellaneous: Today, I told my parents I no longer believe in the religion...

By non believer - 23/09/2010 06:08 - United States

Today, I told my parents I no longer believe in the religion they strictly raised me under. They responded by kicking me out of the house. I'm broke, jobless, and the only person that will take me in is my psycho ex-girlfriend who never got over me. FML

Today, my parents threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't agree to convert to their new brand of Christianity. This is a day after they ranted at me about how I should speak my mind more and not let myself be controlled by other people. FML

Today, I came out to my therapist as gay. Claiming that my parents "can't be that homophobic", my therapist outed me to them. They kicked me out of the house. FML

Today, I finally mustered up the courage to tell my overly-religious parents that I'm an agnostic. They asked me why. As soon as I gave my reasons, my mom called me a "bigot" and hurled a bible at me, and it nailed me in the crotch. She then said, "That's what you get, non-believer." FML

Here comes the flood

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - United States - Gurnee

Today, my tiny apartment flooded. My family lives out of state and the few friends I have all gave me B.S. excuses for why I can't stay over for a few nights. I'm so broke this month that I'll probably have to hit up my psycho ex. FML

Today, I was kicked out of my aunt's house for being 15 minutes late for her to pick me up. She told me she doesn't want me to come home and left me in a panicked mess. My sister and brother are on her side and refuse to talk to me. I'm now couch surfing. FML

Today, I decided it was a good day to get my first tattoo since turning 18. Today, my parents decided it was a good day to make me homeless, because they are religious nutjobs that still live in the 19th century. Oh, and they’re no longer paying for my tuition. FML

Get out

Today, my mother kicked me out of the house because her new boyfriend needs my room. Evidently he also needs my credit card, passport, and wallet too, because she kept all three, while tossing everything else out on the lawn. FML

Freedom

Today, I’m devastated that I had to completely sever all ties with my mother. She’s a hyper religious zealot who’s gone as far as to threaten to kidnap my children in order to get them baptized after I refused to raise them in her archaic, abusive, oppressive cult-like “church”. FML

I'm all for standing up for one's beliefs, but if you knew your parents were that strict on their own, you should have at least waited until you were financially stable to say anything.

What's done is done. I hope you're able to get a job, and get better. People are generally very attached to the religion they believe in (if they are religious). To tell them blatantly, that 'you know what? This is fake and that is fake..etc..' hurts more sentiments than you can fathom. Be careful next time. And try and make amends with your parents.

YDI...you must have known something like that would happen.

I didn't know it would happen to me when it did. I figured since my parents were so devoutly Christian that they would respect my beliefs (or lack thereof) even if they didn't agree with them. Boy, was I wrong. Sometimes you just don't see it coming.

I'm curious why everyone thinks he insulted his parents. He could've just said "Parents, I respect you and your beliefs, but they are not mine and I do not wish to fool you into thinking they are, so I will no longer be a part of your religion." Of course they still could've kicked him out if they were hypcrits instead of believers, but no insults from the OPs side are required.

Sorry to hear about this, OP. I was raised Catholic and tried to tell my family I am an atheist when I was a kid. Took a lot of "satan worshiper" and "you're going to hell" comments before they would talk to me again. I hope that they let you back home soon once they get over themselves.
