Packing up my stuff from my dad and step mom's house. Soon I will drive away knowing that I won't ever have to go back there.
Since I was told last night that they cannot "condone" my transition, it makes driving away that much easier. I was given a bible that was "touched" by many Christians and many, many more are praying for my "cure". The bible has a number of commentaries and they highlighted a page for me that says effectively tolerance for something they don't believe in is equal to an unacceptable endorcement of sin.
I just flipped through it for a second and came upon a commentary that said while family is important, it isn't more important than the kingdom of God and that God has something for us that is bigger and more radical than we could ever imagine on our own.
So it will be easy for me to respect their wishes. I don't care if they "condone" my transition or not, it is not up to them. I guess they missed that whole part of the new testament about not judging others. I won't judge their view, in fact I will respect it by not placing them in a position where they have to make any decisions about accepting or not accepting me.
Sometimes people make it very easy for you to make your life choices.
