EmilyAnn Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 I've tried to avoid telling her because I'm away at the moment and kind of want to do it face to face. Plus I was hoping that by waiting until a little closer to the time I'd avoid the long period of drama that will undoubtably follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictlyinkblot Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Don't put it off too long. The longer you wait the harder it'll get. You could say you're going on retreat, that's not a lie, just not the entire truth. I know its hard. Could you tell her in a public place to limit the amount of drama?

EmilyAnn Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'm going home in a couple of days so hopefully I will speak to her then. It sounds awful but I almost want to do it from here so that I can be separated from it. Normally I'd just stay here until the live-in but I need clothes that are at home and I promised to be at a birthday celebration for a family friend a few days before. Any prayers would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaberry Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I know what you mean EmilyAnn-praying for you. Sometimes it feels like it would be so easy to be an orphan when discerning/entering religious life...try to remember that any grief/shock/anger/anything your mom feels that might trouble you, she feels out of love for you. Maybe tell her right when you arrive, since she'll be super happy to see you then, or right before you go, as she may not want y'all to separate with the bad taste of a fight/argument in your mouth. God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 On a more positive note . . . 5 days until I go in! But I'm hoping to tell her not too long before I come back to my university town. I know that sounds really cowardly but I just can't deal with being around her when she gets angry at me. It's like I've disgraced her when she gets like that, it's awful. I'd much rather be in my own house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
