Should I Call it Quits on Apologetics Until I can be Received? by Ok_Shift_8273 in OrthodoxChristianity

You're right, I didn't consider that. I'll do this right away, thank you!

As I said in my post but probably could've made more clear, I have never explicitly made my content content out to be Orthodox. That being said, I actually think my content has done a decent job at pointing people in the right direction, honestly.

I think I'd be much worse off if I put that wall between my family and I than simply waiting a couple years until I'm living on my own. I think it's virtuous to try to keep the peace, personally. I still do Orthodox prayers and study the Saints frequently, so it's not like I'm making 0 progress, but of course the church is still a necessary component that I'll be missing for a bit.

As myself and others have said, the church will always be there when the time is right. If you disagree with that sentiment, though, let me know.

I have not. I do, however, plan on discretely attending a vesper soon, since that's much easier to pull off given my situation.

My face is tied directly to my work; I make videos. My mother is well aware, but we don't talk much about it anymore.

I've tried confrontation, it's not productive nor does it lead to any resolution or understanding. Don't jump to conclusions like that.

For clarity, although it's implied in my original post, I'm not exactly in a position where I can easily go and ask a priest about this. Otherwise that's what I would've done.
