Catharsis
I wrote a rather cathartic email yesterday. I had been putting off replying to my mother’s email for a little while, as I wanted to take some time over it – so I did the whole thing yesterday. Basically I laid out a number of things about my own religious beliefs or lack of, and explained how I felt about hers – something that she’s never clearly understood (in part because I never explicitly mentioned it before).
I’m sure the email will not meet with the best reception, and I know some of it will sound a little harsh but I’m glad I wrote it – I feel so much better for having gotten it off my chest, and now I’m beginning to feel a little freer in exploring the stuff I’ve been getting into lately.
It’s odd – I’m 25 and this is the first time I’ve felt free to explore these things and make up my own mind – and it feels great 
So no doubt I’ll be getting stuck in with a vengeance in the near future…

No not yet, I don’t know how often she checks her email
Although she managed to snail mail me the anti-freemasonry book in a remarkably short amount of time after she’d read my blog. She may not reply I don’t know – although I’m sure she’ll at least have something to say about it. To be honest, it doesn’t really matter, as the important thing was that I got the message out, and having done that, have passed a threshold where I feel I can move forward with my own studies.[Reply]
