Religon: the proud sponsor of parent-child disownment for centuries and every day.

I can't frickin believe that my friend's mom just kicked her own daughter out just because she got a tatoo and the friggin stepdad asshole pastor doesn't like it.

I want her freaking mom to know that her daughter was recovering from SA, going to school (and getting good grades) is recovering from alcoholism and drugs....and was telling me she was going to become a striiper again because that's the only way she knows how to make money fast. Because her mom gave her one day's notice.
What a ****ing basturd parent. First of all, thanks for abandoning your daughter just to please your partner. Additionally, thanks for putting your bible-thumping religon so far up your *** that you can't even see the damage you are doing to someone who is TRYING SO HARD! AAAAHHHHHH!

This is a tragedy. These "religious zealots" cause more problems & heartache than they do help. I wish I knew how many children & relatives they have driven away with their fanaticism.

I hope this girl can count on YOU as a friend. She's going to need one. God bless. Lee

I completely understand. It's hard for me to differentiate between religion and hypocrisy.

It's sad what people do to each other but this person seems to have a good friend in you. Support her - she needs it bad right now. And sadly, this situation is probably the tip of the iceberg for this family...

I'm so sorry, objtrbit. Seeing our friends or family mistreated is the worst, I think, at least for me worse than being mistreated myself. Makes me SO angry.

Yeah, I have seen a lot of people mistreated in the name of religion. It's horrible, and I don't understand how any belief can mean so much to you that you would hurt someone just to uphold it. All I believe in is right and wrong, and kicking out your friend was just WRONG of her parents.

We are gonna get an aprtment together; so crazy, I've been living where I am for 3 years, this weekend I may be somewhere else. I'm portable though, lol, and feeling better myself....I can't imagine how my buddy feels..she blames herself a lot, and it's gotta suck to have a mom that chooses religon and her partner over her daughter.

Thanks for the support you guys!

I'm happy to hear that you could help out your friend by getting a place together! Good luck with the move.

Obj....I call myself a christian.But the bible-thumping over zealous type I am not,in my view that just sad that they are treating her this way....and I feel so much for your friend.She is so very ,very blessed to have a friend as awesome as you!.Thanks for supporting her!....~W~

I realised quite young that religion is a shield behind which lies the scum of the earth! ok not everyone behind there is scum but many are. knowing your mum chooses to a partner over her own flesh and blood is really difficult to come to terms with. i know because i had to! but it is achievable, just do not expect an acceptable answer as to why! mine said she chose him over me because she didn't want to grow old alone! Thanks mum! but justice comes to those who wait, I am still waiting but in the mean time i have the knowledge that i am nothing like my family. even in my lowest moments i have not once wanted or needed them in my life. i feel it is better for me to grow old alone than to have scum like my family in my life.
Well done for helping your friend, she will need good friends around her until she finds the strength to realise how damaging her family can be to her health and happiness x

Sorry about your friend....maybe you could encourage her to join PC...if she's interested. It sounds like things are going to be pretty rough for her these days.

I'm sorry this is happening to your friend, objtrbit. As embracinglife suggested, perhaps you could invite her to join PC if she's not already a member. Would it be awkward for either of you to know that the other was also here?

Everyone, please limit your discussion of religion in the forums. I am now going to close this thread.
