Beliefs and Practices

BarbieQueen, do your whole family join in roma celerbrations and have the same structure in their lives as you or are they like my family and basically split off?

My family don't practice anymore. I think one of my aunties do and I know my cousin is gifted like me, probably moreso because she suffers from mental illness but as far as my family go, theres only a couple of us that live our lives by it and even then, we are solitary because the otehrs in our family would shun us if we told them. I mean when my mother and my gran were alive, they would openly practice, but then nobody would question my grandmother. She was tough old lady.
I do know what you mean with being a girl and growing up with a certian ammount of principles, taboos and superstitions around you. Personally, I felt trapped, I began to spite my heratige and became rebellious (especially after my gran passed on) and was disowned my one of my aunties for it who still hasn't spoken to me in over ten years now.
I did see the error of my ways before my mother passed on and grew up a lot because of my heratige. I have respect for any girl brought up in the same lifestyle as I was. (But then, I have respect for all of you that make this place a covern.) ;)

Cool I like it
