Sucker Punch *EOTWP*

| Week 40 |
I'm sure what my family is experiencing as I continue to grow is like a sucker punch to the gut for them. Not having control over the situation probably drives them insane, makes them sad or depressed, or even invokes some religious fearmongering within the family and close friends.

I don't know. Maybe the change scares them? Maybe it freaks them out? Maybe they're so bothered by how very different I look that it makes them uncomfortable. I'm not entirely sure. But I do believe the main driving force behind why they won't support me is because of religious indoctrination. Because they believe that in doing so, they themselves will be committing sin. And we can't have that, because they'd be spending eternity in that fictional, torturous lake of fire. *eyeroll* It's such a shame that their own flesh and blood has been placed aside — not even in a secondary role — to a fictional character used to keep societies in check through the use of fear and guilt. Sad.
But you can't throw logic at them. I've discovered this the hard way. They just will not listen. All I can do is keep being me; keep pushing forward toward a life of happiness and no regrets. And I'll keep doing just that...because I refuse to be sad and miserable. I refuse to allow depression to take me over. I refuse to be ruled by fear and guilt. I'm stronger than all of that.
I am a woman.
