it depends whose side of the family we are visiting.
my moms side, i avoid family gatherings and my mom doesnt try to force me either. the only reason i avoid it, is my grandma(my moms mom).she s a huge drama freak. she acts like she cant hear you having a conversation with someone else, then when your gone, she exagerrates and changes up the story and spreads it around the famly.
one time which is the main reason to try to avoid interaction with her, i was in the kitchen at her house with my mom and my aunt. the topic of religion came up. at the time i wasa deist. my moms side of the family are religious. butmy unt was cool about it. she didnt try to talk me down or convert me, she just asked me my beliefs and such. she was just curious and was nice about it. my mom was aalso understanding. this was the first time ive ever talked religion with any family member. so unbeknownst to us, my grandma was listening in our conversation.
so later that night, my parents were getting ready to leave(they were sleeping at our aunts house cuz there was no room in my grandmas house). so as we say goodbye and such, my grandma decides to get me and my parents attention. and says she worries for me, and grabs a bible and insists that my parents have me read it. at that point, i decided id rather not stay over at my grandmas house. as she is a bible freak and she never shuts the fvck up. my parents ddnt try to stop me.
then about a week later we had found out that my grandma had gone around telling everyone that im an athiest and that they need to pray for me, also sent me a bible. so now alot of the people she told, seemed to freak out and things got all crazy and sh!t. was pretty annoying.
now i avoid her at all costs, ad my parents understand and dont try to force me.
my dads side however, are awesome.
