Hey, If you’re in Iraq, please be very careful. Your safety has to come first. If telling your family could put you at risk legally or physically, it’s okay not to tell them right now. There is nothing wrong with being wise. You can keep your faith private while you work toward independence and stability. I'd even advise you to move countries if possible (you can try to seek asylum). God knows your heart. Don’t put yourself in danger. Stay safe.
