A Change In Me
Relationship Stress / by discreetNickel2070

...See more I posted this in another forum, but I'm reposting it here since it seems more appropriate. I've been struggling with my former faith for several years now and I've just come to the full realization that I'm an atheist. While I am fully accepting in my atheism, I married my wife as a Christian 13 years ago. She is devout but does not know about the change I've undergone. So now, my days are full of anxiety as I prepare to tell her. And oddly, while I am fully prepared to lose her, I am not ready to lose my daughters who are 6 and 4. I am currently seeking therapy as I know this is not going to be pretty as nearly my entire family are devout practicing Christians. Having been in therapy previously, I know that part of it is having a support system in place. A friend of mine recommended 7cups. Though I cannot predict the future, I have a habit of imagining the worst case scenario, which only heightens my anxiety.
