Yeah.

I think the other difficult aspect is I, I love my dad.

We have a good relationship, but we don't really have a lot of super, you know, emotional or, you know, we don't really talk about our feelings and things like that.

So, you know, having those kinds of tough conversations with him is something that I've always tried to avoid.

You know, I have those conversations more with my mom, but yeah,

you know, my dad, he struggles with a lot of guilt about, you know, not attending mass regularly.

Um, you know, he, um, it's something that, um, you know, he has also some unresolved like trauma and things like that.

Yeah.

So for me, I am, I guess I'm just afraid of, um,

You know, I don't want to hurt him emotionally by having this conversation, but I also want to kind of honor my own beliefs and just kind of where my comfort lies.

And I do think he would be respectful and understanding.

Like, I don't fear any kind of, you know, verbal or physical abuse or anything like that, but...

I guess I want to be more open with him and be more vulnerable.

And I'm just, I'm not sure if, if I can do that.

Yeah.

And I think the biggest thing I've struggled with is the approach because I don't want it to be this big thing where I'm like,

you know, unveiling all this information and kind of changing, you know, how he, how he views me or things like that.

I, I want it to be more of like a natural, you know, conversation.

And so I think that is good perspective to kind of come at it from that lens.

Okay.
