DearPrudie: Friends think I’m scaring prospective dates away.
I grew up in a conservative religious home and toxic church environment. I recently moved back to my parents’ hometown. Growing up, my mom and I never fought, and we communicated well. Now, I’m questioning my faith and how I spent my life in cultlike ministries. My mom is overjoyed that I moved closer, but we fight frequently now. When I tell her I’m struggling with faith, she gets upset and tells me I need to “let go and let God” or that I’m not praying the right way.
A key detail in your letter is that you and your mother never fought when you were a child who went to church and complied with her rules. Now that you’re an adult who refuses to paper over your doubts with reassuring bromides, who wants to talk about the racism you’ve experienced, and who’s experiencing real pain over the loss of an imperfect but meaningful spiritual community, you’re fighting constantly.
