I am SO SORRY for what you're going through, @JupiterBraytech! I do feel like you have EVERY RIGHT to practice your own Religion - or NOT practice it if that's what you wish. So your parents need to respect that and they can't force you to adpot THEIR Religion. You're doing well by standing up for yourself. You've said you want to take legal action. I'm not sure I understand that part so please forgive me if I ask for some clarifications. What kind of action you want to take specifically? What is CPS? Child Protective Services? Are your parents being abusive in other ways aside from this as well? Are you old enough to leave the house? In any case, if there's ANY kind of abuse going on there, then yes, taking legal action is a good idea. Definitely make sure to hire a good lawyer first! Also, if for whatever reason you can't get through with it, leave your house if you can and if you're old enough to do it. Are there any other relatives that may help you and support you with your decision? Any friends? If you go to school, perhaps you can ask your teachers for some help? Definitely get as much help as you possibly can! I hope you'll get out of that situation. If the problems you're having are only limited to your Religious Beliefs, though my suggestion would be to just keep standing up for yourself and perhaps try to get away from them. That's my opinion anyway! Do whatever pleases you. Feel free to PM me ANYTIME and I'll try to offer you Advice and Support. I'm sure PLENTY of others wil gladly help you as well! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH You, @JupiterBraytech, Your Other Relatives, Your Friends and ALL Of The People You Love And Who TRULY Love You And Accept You For WHO YOU TRULY ARE! Please keep fighting and keep rocking as much as you possibly can like you're already wonderfully doing all and entirely by yourself. KEEP FIGHTING AND KEEP ROCKING! YOU'RE MUCH, MUCH STRONGER THAN YOU THINK AND YOU KNOW THAT! WE ALL KNOW THAT! THAT'S A PROMISE! KEEP FIGHTING AND KEEP ROCKING!
