Hey Amanda…Scott Hatfield here. Still read your blog, still accept you for who you think you are and who you want to become…not particularly interested in reading the opinions and experiences of someone exactly the same as me, since that would be boring. In that spirit, I heartily commend Richard Feynman’s book ‘What Do You Care What Other People Think?’

I’m still here too wishing you well. Sad to hear this sort of thing is happening to you.

It sound very similar to what I often get (as an atheist). What atheists from religious families often get (I’m not saying this is what is going on with you, just that it sounds like the results are similar).

I’m still around. maybe it’s time for a new job, new locale, new friends, etc.

I’ll keep reading, and try not to talk at you

I still swing by every once in a while. I haven’t been writing in my own blog, that often lately. So, I also haven’t been visiting others as much.

Still, as someone who went through a one eighty degree change of view, I can relate. Part of the reason for my change was when trying to ask questions, I got the same sort of response as you. It was ironic that them trying to “convince” me actually pushed me further away.

Anyway, it’s a bit more complicated than that, but I only have so much time and room to type. Keep in mind that complex situations and life changing events tell you who your friends really are. I know it’s cliche, but that is often the case when you look back on it.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m still subscribed and still read every post.

I really hope you can find some friends who will be there for you through the dark days and who won’t constantly try to change you.
