A big thank you to y’all all for responding!

Mark and Inky,

Thank you for your encouragement. I looked up individuation and found a lot of advice for dealing with that process.

You mentioned that he thinks he’s doing what’s right for me. I kept this in mind over the weekend, and it actually helped me be comfortable with and even enjoy time with my dad. Context really is everything.

I think things will get easier when I’m not in the house. I’m intending to go to college out of state, so the distance might help a little. I think I might leave Mormonism quietly, though, so that I don’t upset my extended family as well.
