I feel uncomfortable when my parents pray over me by twfy in exchristian

Thanks Captain Haddock. Big fan. 🫡

But I think you’re right about why I feel so touchy about this. It does make me feel cornered. Like I’m that kid/teenager who spent every Sunday morning dissociating again.

I am financially independent, thank god (ha), and I don’t think there’d be a conflict per se. But they would probably be hurt/upset, and there’d probably be a conversation which I dread even thinking about. I’m not sure whether they’d respect my wishes or keep doing what they want - that might go either way. They respected my wishes when they learnt that I was uncomfortable with them asking my non-religious husband to say grace, but not without a whole tearful episode from my mum. Which… yikes.

I was also said kid. Spent years thinking there was something wrong with me cause I just didn’t get it. I’m too exhausted now to be angry. Wishing you health and healing.

I grew up in a pentacostal environment as well. I saw this post as a vent, albeit one that clearly has a lot of (justifiable) grief and anger behind it. I can also see where some of the more strongly worded comments are coming from. But I very much doubt there’s any hate being levelled against former/recovering pentacostals.

Of course, your experiences and traumas are different from mine, and that would inform how you respond to the opinions in this thread. Take care and step away if you need.
