I am SO SICK OF THIS. So I went to one of my dad’s friends event, where they paint and carve pumpkins. I painted a pumpkin there. I couldn’t bring it to my dad’s house, so I was forced to bring it to my mom’s. Literally the next day, my mom and stepdad demand thst I get rid of it because it “invites evil spirits to our home”. Mind you, I painted it lavender with a cat on it. They didn’t even ACKNOWLEDGE how I worked on it. Just instantly demanded I get rid of this. I graduate this year. I love my parents, but this is one thing that I won’t miss. I am so tired of having parts of myself outright rejected all for the sake of religion.
