It saddens me to hear this happen. How dare she force her irrational beliefs onto you. Even if she was correct about it, that does not give her the right to harass you the way she did. Your mom is crazy, and hopefully tomorrow she will apologize when she see's that her suspicions were wrong. Do not give into her threats of hell, they are just a fear tactic to try and get you to conform to her beliefs. I think this is a form of abuse, and you should try and detach from your family a bit and move out if they continue behavior like this. If you need support, there are plenty of atheist forums and chats online you could go to. Of course, if you do this, be careful to make sure to hide it (delete browsing history!) so none of your family notices it, as they sound dangerous.
The day after the event, she didn't want to talk about it. It was briefly brought up between her and the relative I foolishly called.
I do agree with you that this is a form of abuse. (I'd say verbal and emotional) I spent that whole day living in fear that I was going to die but I didn't. I'm not going to listen to her if I can help it.
I've been wanting to detach myself from that side of the family for years. I would like to now but currently not in the right situation for doing it. I would like to move many miles away and get a restraining order. I just want to be able to live the life that I always wanted IN peace.
I have my own laptop top. They don't watch my internet usage nor do they go through my internet history. I'll still continue to take precautions, though.
Paranoia due to religion, IIN?
