Today at dinner, I came out of the broom closet. I was so nervous that I went nonverbal, so I ended up texting my coming out script to my parents (I was still at the table with them) they looked at the text, looked super disappointed, and then nothing. It took awhile, but then my dad finally responded. He wouldn't force me to do anything, but he doesn't accept the fact that I'm Wiccan. In other news, while they were at church, I did a cleansing on my house and feel a lot better now. I've been feeling off and consistently negative since I came back from my trip last month, but that's all gone now.

Glad you’re feeling better, lapushka. Just don’t forget who you are and that your family still loves you
I'm glad your feeling better, and you did great in getting around your nerves with a txt, very creative and brave. Perhaps in the future you can have a nice sit-down conversation with them and airout any tention.
Well done! Give yourself credit for facing your fears -- that was very courageous. I hope that your parents will come to accept your choice.
Bravo, Sister; that was a brave thing and well-done.
It is not their decision with what you feel good, it's yours, even if anyone does not like your decision, as long as you don't hurt others or their rights, you can do as much as you like. But you can explain what Wicca means to you and how you feel about it, ask them for the first thing they think about when they hear the term and show them what is a prejudice and what is real, when you care about their opinions.
But none should force their opinions on others, that's just not right.
