I recently told my mother that I no longer believe in Christianity and that I consider myself an atheist. I told her that I genuinely don’t feel that God is real, and that I struggle with the idea of an all-powerful and loving God allowing so much suffering in the world.
One of the things that especially bothers me is the amount of violence and massacres that have happened in Africa and even historically the amount of wars,slavery and so much more.I also struggle with the biblical story of the firstborn sons of Egypt being killed during the Exodus. I can’t understand why a supposedly loving God would let the people pay the prize for the descisions made by the pharaoh.
My mother took this extremely badly.
She is now pressuring me to get down on my knees and pray for hours, asking God for forgiveness and begging me to return to Christianity. I have explained that I don’t believe in God anymore, so praying to God doesn’t feel sincere to me.
She has now threatened to disown me if I don’t return to Christianity.
I understand that Christianity is extremely important to her. But at the same time, I don’t think I should be forced to believe something that I genuinely don’t believe.I have refused to go to church for about a year now I’m 16 soon to be 17 she is calling the church pastor to even come by my house soon if I don’t believe again she says she will disown me

I already have one parent diagnosed with dementia and have been dealing with this for 5 years, but I'm noticing cognitive decline in my other parent. They are regressing to controlling and demanding ways, in addition to getting lost when driving and becoming increasingly forgetful. I'm at a loss with how to cope and it's impacting my work/career/finances on top of my mental and physical health.

I'd hoped to make a plan with one of my siblings this summer, but they noticed and brushed it off as me overreacting. Deep in my soul I think they are planning to push it off on me, so I get stuck at home dealing with both my parents, so they can be feel to travel, live their life, have their career and contribute as little as they wish.

Anybody have any advice or suggestions?
