My dad is coming to visit me for a week, so I might not be around much. That is unless I need to vent about him...... He's not very accepting of the Witch thing. Infact I'm not realy sure what to expect from him, now that I have my own home, and now that he's a grandparent. I had to stop talking to him for a year or two in the past, so I think he know that I expect him to be respectful, but I'm realy stressing. Especialy since he wants to check out the real estate down here, he wants to move out here to be closer, and I'm not sure that's a good thing or not. (Though it would be nice to have some granparents around to help with Vincent and future children.)

My relationship with my Dad is not well either so I feel for you. I think you need to stay focused on yourself and your son. If your Dad's mind is set and is unwilling or unable to be respectful of your religion then maybe he should stay at a hotel.

You are much braver than I am as my family still has no idea that I am a witch. I will send you some calming and strength energy.

Be well and hang in there!

Well I didn't have a choice in the matter, when I told my mom I was a Pagan, she told my dad. (They are divorced so she actualy called him and spoke with him.) This happened before my mom realy understood what Wicca was, and my dad thought I was a Satanist. Things have improved since then. He did his own research on Wicca (research that was tanted by Christian sources, but for the most part accurate.) But I did have to stop talking to him for a few years before he got the drift that if he didn't respect me I wouldn't talk to him. I think now that he realizes I'm still a "moral person" he has calmed down a bit... but he still occational goes on about Jesus and Gods love and Hell. If he does get disrespectful I will send him to a hotel. (I think the worst part was when he sent me two books by "Dr Laura" LOL)

Having babies makes it all the more complecated....that's for sure!

Thanks for the energy!
