i told my parents

I officially told my parents that I’m no longer Christian. I moved out recently and have continuously been asked where my faith is at and which church I’m now going to. I’m planning to get an old religious tattoo covered and figured that now’s a good time to rip off the bandaid and just tell them.

They reacted poorly. My mom is blaming herself and distancing from me right now, my dad just told me “I’ll be praying for you to come on back.” I expected it and know they still love me but it hurts so much.

Any encouragement?
