I don't want to go too into this but I have three families, mom, stepdad and dad. My Dad's family is the only one who knows and accepts (unconditionally and lovingly) that I am converting to Judaism. My mother tells me that she feels she has failed me as a mother and that it will break her parents hearts, and she also told me that telling my step-dad's family would cause them grief because they would be distraught I was going to hell and would feel an obligation to stop me from converting and make me accept Jesus as God.
Lovely I know, however it turns out one of my cousins on my stepdad's side CONVERTED TO JUDAISM! I have jewish family! This is incredibly exciting for me. I'll probably report more later today after talking to her, but I hope that she and i will grow closer and help eachother through our families intolerance and this exciting new world! Maybe she can come over tonight for the lighting of shabbat candles! I am super excited.
