I hope you don't feel stuck in your family. If you're an atheist it's best to come clean at some point. My parents were the same in a way, and I wish I've told them much sooner I wasn't going follow their rules forever.

I just want to say what a kind and considerate young man you sound. This is not your fault, even though you feel guilty. Your life is your choice and you can't let others rule it, even if they are family. It is still fresh now so your mum will look hurt for a bit, but it's not your fault. Just remind her that you love and appreciate her and everything she's done and that's never going to change. This is just the difficult part but it will pass.

I think you’re brave and reasoning with people deep into religion/cult mindsets is almost impossible. I’d play along and focus on job/studies. Until you’re able to live on your own then you can break free. And run your household based on science and not magic books.

You have put into words what I was going to write. I, too was brought up jehovahs witness and didn't have birthdays or Christmases. I have notnhad the fanily upset though as my mum moved away from those beliefs when I was about 10 I think.
Anyway I agree with what you've said OP shouldn't feel bad. His mum will get over it. It's not really his fault even though he feels that it is. The best thing to do is be kind and considerate to her but stand firm.

Don't be so quick to run. Maybe he's just ashamed to be bisexual and didn't know how to tell you.
Try talking to him compassionately, acknowledge you could never give him what a man does, and decide if you can make room for that in your life. Many people do.
Or throw away the relationship and start looking again for someone to start over from scratch with.
The dishonesty is bad, but understandable. Lead with love and see what happens.

Lol it just comes out like a steady tap. If I pull it back if goes intense power washer mode. That’s when it goes everywhere.

You dumbass. If you don't have the sense to disconnect electricity before you work on an appliance you need to get rid of your tools and never attempt a repair again.
Seriously.
Sorry to be harsh, but you can die, start a fire, harm others, lose your house or cost others their homes.
Crosspost this in r/aita, but yata.

Don't think this shows she loves him or religion more than the other it shows she loves both her religion and her son. His mom cried probably because she feels guilty or at fault because in her eyes her son isn't following into her and her husband's belief and she might feel responsible that he hasn't followed her path and maybe blaming her every action. I don't think she is disappointed in him, she might be disappointed in herself. OP said his mom didn't tell his dad which is bit surprising as I would expect her to just immediately tell dad and dad would get SUPER pissed but she let him alone probably in hope that he finds the religion himself one day.

Search up ThatVeganTeacher and you'll see what they're referring to. It wasn't a generalisation, it was a dig at her 👍

You've got to learn religion, seems to be the only way to fix your situation, that and studying well. I don't mean completely devote yourself (you can if you want) but just find yourself understanding of religion. I'd recommend listening to some of what Jordan Peterson talks about I'm relation to religion. The main thing you have to understand is that religion, in my eyes at least, isn't just believing in a specific story about some all powerful dude but rather taking in the teachings. The stories told in all religious books have a lot to offer if you only read them. I'd you take those teaching and apply them to your life I guarantee you'll be better off. Btw, this is coming from someone who didn't believe in a 'God' until about 6 months to a year ago and I'm 21. I'm still not big on the whole concept of it but I definitely see its benefits and belief is currently helping me through a rough patch. Remember, you're not defined by your mistakes but rather what you make of them, this doesn't have to be the end of your relationship with your mum, I guarantee you if you bust your ass off to repair it you will. Gl homie 🤙

You may have brought the man to him. But he had the character of a cheater before that. You just found out now. Cut your losses and move on to someone who will be loyal to you.

Though this might have saved her more heartache in the future. She’s getting out before marriage and before kids.

Wow, that sucks. Religion should bring people together, not divide them. As an agnostic, religion is like children arguing about who has the best imaginary friend to me. That doesn't mean I can't respect people and their religious beliefs as long as they don't force their beliefs down my throat or call for violence etc. towards 'non-believers'. Can't it be the same with your parents, only vice versa? Why should they stop loving and caring for you bc you don't share their beliefs? Unless they are hardliners, I think they will learn to get used to it. If not, I don't see any other way than moving out of your parent's house into your own place once you can. I hope youre going to be ok, OP.

Yup, it's truly a stereotype. Most vegans just want to live (and eat) in peace and know that missionizing people won't do anyone a favour. Weird thing to say.*
*Edit: was informed the comment made was aimed towards ThatVeganTeacher. Yup, that person is definitely not a good example.

Reply to Tifu by losing a bunch of money by ryryryryryv
Your best and safest bet is to tell your parents, get the money, pay back the dealers and get the fuck out of that scene. What are you doing to yourself you're fucking 15 years old and being a drug mule. Damn man.
Also stay in school since you can barely communicate properly in English.
