On my Parents Knowing

Can I tell my father about these religious stuffs I write? Nọdụ nụ ebe ahụ. I actually spoke with my father back in 2021 and told him I am not going to be following him to the ministry he goes to anymore. That I don't like the place. It makes me uncomfortable and I'm not learning anything from the prophet. That I can only manage Sunday service at our Anglican church.

This was when I haven't made a single cent to my name. My father shook his head but said "well, it's your life. You are now an adult so you can do whatever." Afterall, I'd also told him before that cooking is not what I like to do but I have to do it anyways since I'm in his house.

I'm sure he probably thought, 'that girl dị somehow and needs prayers.' But on the other hand, I've never done anything to shame the Anikwenze name. I get good grades. I'm not promiscuous nor materialistic. I don't scam him with academics money. I don't smoke. I am a teetotaler. He offers me alcoholic drinks and palmwine and I say nope, I don't like them. I also lead prayers at home very well. In simple terms, I'm a do-gooder daughter. So he probably thinks, "well I'll make do with what she turned out to be, let me just leave her to herself"

So nope, while I don't outrightly criticise the church to him, he knows I'm not a fan. C'est finis. Same way with my siblings. They know I don't like the church. Though my eldest sister is always keen on reprimanding me when I go on my ranting spree about religion.

What about my mother? What would she think if she was still alive? Lmao, my brother was literally criticising Sisters Fellowship International to my mother's face when she was alive and she was one of the early members sef. She would always tell him, "touch not my anoited" so that's the same thing she would have told me. But would I have listened? Nope, I wouldn't.
