I recieved a phone call out of the blue today from my mum.
She launched into an un provoked attack at me for my conversion to catholicism and for the work I do around Pro Life issues after reading an article of pro life campaigners praying outside abortion clinics.
She told me the catholic was like a cult and wouldnt even stop for breathe on the phone about how horrible pro life people are and how I should just tell everyone I have no view on abortion.
I ended up having to hang up as she wouldnt even let me get a word in was just a long lecture. I feel really bad for cutting her off but was getting more and more upset listening.
She has then continued to text me telling me how I can have views but I musn’t share them with people and religion is something just for you not for anyone else to know. I told her I had recieved death threats for holding views and she replied “why do you always get death threats” having had them before from fascists as I work as a Diversity consultant. I would imagine most mums would want to give their daughter a hug if she said she had recieved such threats and abuse not attack me for getting them.
I’m really upset as we had really started to build a relasionship after years of her not being there and being in my life. She lives 200 miles away with my step dad. Now I’m worried that its going to be a constant battle as she judges me and seems to want to control what I believe if its different to her.
I’ve had such an awful few months in my life and when I needed more than ever some support and a hug I have just got another trial and stress come into it
I will pray to God for his guidance and for his love to help calm my Mums views.
