Raeanna, I understand so well... with my mom it's quite ironic because she converted as a result of me doing so before her, and now she puts pressure on me because I'm a bad example to her!... very weird. Anyway, I know I was ranting a bit in my previous post, but I know that saying no to one's parents is just really damn hard. They mean well, but unless they're very compassionate and perceptive, those good intentions don't do much for helping you feel more loved and accepted.
Anyway, I also wanted to say that I love your new signature. It's a beautiful statement of something that I, too, believe very deeply.
