born again mom (and dad.. medyo)

i feel like sasabog na ako. i have to vent this out so here we go

I’m 24 years old. Working, may bf for x years (pero kakasabi ko lang last month sa parents ko) kasi nga born again ako at madami silang sinasabi or masasabi pag nagsabi akong may bf na ako (at katoliko siya)

backstory muna, i had a “bf” when i was 16 and nahuli kami na nag iilove you sa phone kaya sumugod kami sa bahay nila para iconfront yung guy GRABE ‘NO parang nabuntis hahahaha 9pm pa yon and the next day, there was an intervention sa pastor’s office. active pa ako ng sobra nito sa church but i kinda fell off after that na kasi i finally snapped and saw the bigger picture— ang o-oa pala ng mga ‘to? HAHAHAHAHAHA anyway

back to today, different guy na ‘to ha. we met in college :) medyo nahuli ako ng mom ko na kami na ng boyfriend ko a few months ago kasi she saw him hold my knee (oa, i know) sa post ng friend ko. So after that, I went home and told her na kami na nga. and it’s been a few weeks na (kahit years na talaga, but I’m never risking my life by telling her that lol) so typical born again mom nag breakdown na para bang nabuntis talaga ako.

ito yung current na kinaiinis ko: may pupuntahan kami na concert tomorrow ng bf ko and nagpaalam naman ako, WEEKS in advance. sabi ko if pwede sa nearby resto nalang ako ihatid ng dad ko since maaga niya ako balak ihatid dahil susunduin niya yung sister ko sa church (ibang church na din, another story yung previous church grabe kulto ata yon eh)

so i told this to my mom.

me: mommy pwede sa xxxx nalang ako ihatid?

mom: mag isa ka lang?

me: no, susunod dun si bf’s name

mom: wow date na date ha (in a sarcastic tone)

pakisabi nga kung ano yung mali sa sinabi ko please dahil nababaliw na ako dito LOL pero i really want to move out na. kaso lang, i dont think that’s an option for a born again family like mine. they’ll take it as an act of defiance and “di ko na sila mahal” lmfao yun lang! swerte niyo if you weren’t born into a born again family. i love God, i really do, pero i doubt na ganito siya mag mahal like my mom shows me :)
