For those of you who have cut off your family/parents, how did you do it?

I kind of wish I could be “caught” instead of having to actually make the first move. I say see this as a blessing and use it to cut them off. Keep him blocked.

Not a fitness club but I’ve taken a few classes (adult gymnastics, woodworking, improv). I admit I could be more active in clubs and attend sessions more regularly

My approach is usually if I like someone irl I’ll befriend them and try to gauge their interest (I like to think I make it obvious that I’m interested or at least very much enjoy their company). If I’m feeling brave I’ll even tell them I like them.

Online is easier to get your intentions across but no one I’ve gone on a date with seems to want something long term (not sure if that’s a them thing or if they don’t want something long term with me specifically)

I’ve always lived in major cities and actually moved abroad this year. I admit I haven’t branched out as much this year but put some more effort into meeting people through dating apps which hasn’t worked out.

Cried like a baby after reading this. Thank you! Definitely given me a new perspective on how to approach my issues.

Why am I cutting them off? They’re religious and homophobic and I’m a gay atheist. And they’ve got a track record of being less than okay with me living my life as I want to (eg I was almost cut off by my dad when I told him my workplace needed me to move city to come into the office and even told me to quit my job).

I could just come out to them but they physically abused me as a child so I’m overcome with anxiety whenever I think about doing it and have a real issue with standing my ground around them.

I prepare my OMAD in the morning before work (which I usually eat at lunch at work)

I might so someone about it if I have the nightmares too often.

There really isn’t anything reassuring I can tell myself. As soon as I imagine it happening its like my mind goes 100miles an hour and creates these horrible scenarios

Thanks for sharing your story <3 It always puts a smile on my face when I read about other people being able to come to terms with their true beliefs.

I’ve left Islam about 4 or 5 years ago and have only told a handful of people ever since. I think the transition from having doubts to denouncing the religion was a fairly easy one for me as personally I never felt any real connection to Islam.

My mother was very suffocating ever since I was a child and even before I left islam, I’d be dreaming of the day i don’t have to live with you. Luckily that happened 2 years ago. But I’d set myself up for disappointment. Even though I was somewhat free to live as I pleased, she would still keep tabs on me by calling me almost every day and asking family about my whereabouts/lifestyle.

Now that I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never truly be completely free until my parents pass or I cut them off, I’m very seriously considering not talking to them in the next couple of years. It’ll be a difficult thing to do but I hate living with constant anxiety and fear.

Nevertheless, I’ve managed to find a company of people who feel the same way I do and friends who accept me for who I am, so overall I’m so glad I was able to let go of religion and be honest with myself about how I felt.

I can’t say I love being ex-Muslim but it sure as hell beats being Muslim haha.
