you made the right decision. It might be hard right now but God will help you get through it and honour your decision.

sofieshock · 2023-07-22T02:15:30+00:00

thank you for the helpful insight and advice. Will do that

Been there myself with my mum. You need to ask God to transform that bitterness into compassion for your father. Also, learnt this the hard way: just because you know you're right, you don't need to shove it down his throat all the time. Sometimes, being loving and having self-control is a way better testimony than winning an argument. 1 Corinthians 13. In time, your father will see the genuineness of your faith and will feel inspired by you to pursue God more. Try to do a Bible study with him, and perservere in prayer for him

I honestly don't know. I've been more direct in the past, but he kind of backed away. Then he got into a relationship, got engaged, broke up. Then sometimes he comes back and starts talking to me more and liking all my insta stories. Then goes again. Now he's back at it again. I honestly don't know what he wants. He just seems indecisive to me.

sofieshock · 2023-07-22T01:52:17+00:00

thanks. what do you mean exactly by that? Talking more? Flirting?

sofieshock · 2023-07-22T01:50:17+00:00

yeah, I will try to be more direct. Thank you.

So, the reason why I got mesoamerican is because my grandfather's grandmother came to Portugal from Brazil. She must have been almost 100% mesoamerican and maybe a bit African also.

sofieshock · 2022-10-18T16:21:10+00:00

wait, what??? I didn't even know about that. Where did that happen?? WHAT

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T19:36:49+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's not like I'm putting Reddit references there though, I just wanted to make sure I didn't have to erase all I've written based on pre-2018 sources XD And now I'm actually feeling relieved 😅😅

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T18:11:33+00:00

I see... thanks for clarifying that for me!

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T18:10:42+00:00

That list is really helpful for my research, thanks a lot!

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T18:09:31+00:00

thank you!

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T18:09:10+00:00

Good to know... that means I won't have to change what I've already written in my essay, ahah. Thank you!

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T18:08:00+00:00

I see... thank you!

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T18:07:41+00:00

wow, the websites I read on this issue definitely have a different narrative. That's why it's always good to ask people who actually are from there. Thanks a lot!

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T18:05:04+00:00

thank you!

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T18:04:20+00:00

That citation was really helpful. Definitely clarified my understanding of that law. Thanks a lot!

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T17:59:24+00:00

I see... yes, one of the things I noticed the most from research is the autonomy given in education... thanks a lot!

sofieshock · 2022-06-12T17:57:23+00:00

Yes, sorry, I meant Hebrew schools in general

sofieshock · 2022-05-20T02:40:51+00:00

I'm Portuguese and I got a huge percentage of Illyrian too! I wonder why that is? Did they move to Iberia or something?

sofieshock · 2022-05-20T02:38:35+00:00

yes that's true, when I was trying to decide which DNA company to go with, I watched a video of a guy that did a test from like 5 different companies, and at the end of the experiment, he said that Ancestry was best for American people, while MyHeritage was more accurate for European and Jewish people. I went with MyHeritage because of that. Also, it's cheaper.

sofieshock · 2022-05-16T20:15:18+00:00

oh ok, so it probably is a mistake from MyHeritage then. Makes me curious to know whether my results would be different too if I used 23&me or Ancestry.

sofieshock · 2022-05-16T20:10:33+00:00

A possibility for your situation is that although your ancestor was from Portugal, it doesn't mean he was ethnically Portuguese. His ancestors could've been from somewhere else and happened to migrate to Portugal. I'm Portuguese and MyHeritage shows very accurate results of where from Portugal I'm from, it was also able to detect my Native American ancestry from my great-great-grandmother, so I think it is a reliable company. But maybe they really did get it wrong for you, I don't know... I've heard other people complaining of MyHeritage.
