There is something that is one of the reasons my faith struggles: obligations.
My mom had me go to this prayer group every Sunday after mass... I didn't think I belong here or even carry those learnings to the outside world. I didn't ask to go here; my mom just told me and that was it. Going to mass every Sunday was enough for my routine, but since I don't drive yet or have anyone else to take me home, I have to depend on my mom to take me there. Even if it meant going to the group.
It overwhelms me because I felt so hypocritical that what was prayed does not reflect the life I live in.
I don't go there as often... but my mom would take me there if she wanted. If I go, I would just stay quiet and not say a word there
What's worse is that I was very passive and guilty about it, I didn't want to hurt my mom's feelings about it by telling her how I truly feel.
Please... talk something that can make sense for me.
