I was pretty much disowned by my mom (and ultimately much of the rest of my family because they would never pick me over her) because I'm an atheist. She is a generally very abusive and manipulative person and had known about it for over ten years but she went through an emotionally turbulent time and decided to take it out on me.

The breaking point was when she tried to humiliate and demonize me to my little nieces and nephews on Christmas morning a few years back. She didn't just tell them that I wasn't going to get presents, though, she said I wouldn't get good things in my life.

Joke's on her, though, because forcing us out of each other's lives has been the best thing she's ever done for me. I only wish it happened sooner.
