Re: Things you always wanted to ask about certain things
I was raised fundamentalist Protestant, and I lived with my husband before we got married. I converted to Catholicism because he was Catholic (although nominally so, and I am more agnostic than anything).
My parents were so awful to me because of these "transgressions." I seriously considered cutting them out of my life permanently. It was so hurtful to me that I graduated summa cum laude and got accepted with a full ride into grad school, that I continually received academic and professional accolades, and yet somehow, I was a fuckup. More of a fuck up than my little brother (who I love dearly and who has gotten his shit together) who spent his early twenties living rent free in a crumbling trailer on the edge of my parents property after flunking out of college--but who mostly agrees with them politically, socially, and religiously and keeps his mouth shut when he doesn't.
My mother has told me she wished I hadn't gotten full scholarships to undergrad so she could have kept me at home under thumb. One day when she was railing about me and Josh living together before we got married, I was all, "Would you prefer we get divorced to prove your theory right that us living together before we got married is right?" That shut her up.
Actually what pretty much changed everything was us having a kid and them realizing that I had absolute power over the relationship they had or didn't have with that kid (now kids). My parents still drive me bonkers sometimes, but their behavior has drastically mellowed in terms of how they interact with us over the last 17 years. If it hadn't, we'd have nothing to do with them.
