HELP! My family won't accept my new life style!
Have you suffered from ridicule, sarcastic jokes, or just down right cruelty from your family or long term friends simply because you stopped eating meat or stopped wearing chemical hair, or changed your religious beliefs? What about how you raise your children? Do your family or friends disagree with how you discipline your children?
A little of my story.. When I finally decided to grow my hair natural and stop wearing perms, I was "rebuked in the name of Jesus".. My momma told me that the Devil had gotten a hold of me. Other women looked at me and made crazy remarks about my use to be long hair that was now short.. Some told me my momma should slap me in my face. Others said I should be ashamed of myself.
When I changed my diet to vegan.. mannnnnnnn people treated me like I had stole something. They would just stare at me in the break room at work and question me about my food. I never told them they were unhealthy, never bothered them..
We will be talking about this on the Goddess Round Table as well as some solutions as to how to overcome the ridicule and what to do.. Some good rebuttals and more..

Ain't this the truth!!! People always act so shocked when I tell them I don't eat meat.....as if there's nothing else to eat. I remember sitting at a lunch table at work, before even announcing my dietary designation and some woman happened to go off on how weird vegan's were and how they all need to just go live on their own island for going so far outside of the "mainstream". I wanted to say something but I just let it ride. I've found sometimes it's best to just watch and listen then to shake up people's little comfort zones. |
