You sound beautiful, and you define who you are, not an antiquated belief system specifically designed to control people. Your parents are damaged by their religion and that has caused you trauma in turn. But they are all wrong, you are right however you decide what right is for you. If you’re still in a religious area, get the fuck out, let them rot, they don’t deserve you.

Wow, that definitely is a change! There are areas in the US that are good but it's heartening to hear you're in a better environment.
