Um, so I'll start my question.

Also, I want to apologize.

I'm a little nervous, but my question, thank you.

Um, is if I should tell my Catholic father, um, that I've agnostic, um, or if I should, um, kind of occasionally, you know, go to mass with him, um, despite, you know, not necessarily feeling the most comfortable, uh, doing so.

So I was diagnosed with OCD when I was younger, kind of like my early teens.

And

Part of my, I guess, obsessions would be, you know, if I didn't perform a certain behavior, if I didn't do something that, if I didn't, you know, pray enough that, you know, I would be punished by God.

And so there was kind of this like religious aspect to it in the way that, you know, my obsessions and compulsions kind of played out.

So that's just kind of an area where I'm a little concerned about, you know, maybe reopening a wound.

Correct, yeah.

So is it okay if I give a little bit of background just kind of about my family situation?

Yeah.

So I live with my parents as well as my wife.

You know, we have a really good relationship in terms of my like upbringing.

It wasn't a super, you know, religious household, but we did go to mass, you know, fairly occasionally or fairly often, you know, usually maybe once a month, something like that, but not every week.

You know, we would go on major holidays, things like that.

And I think now that I'm, you know, I'm adult, I'm an adult.

They know I have kind of

my own beliefs about certain things, but I also want to be respectful of them.

You know, so you live in their house.
