Teenager Refuses To Change Her "Evil" T-Shirt After It Offended Her Religious Uncle, Her Dad Gets Stressed Over It

Family conflicts and dissension can be extremely stressful, unpleasant, and overwhelming when parents and children hold different religious beliefs. You probably have a good relationship with your parent in spite of your different beliefs if you feel that your highly religious parent accepts and loves you for who you are and loves you unconditionally.

It is important to remember that religious differences are not the primary cause of the dysfunctional relationship you are experiencing in your relationship with your parents, even if you feel that your belief system is exacerbating the problem. The OP of today's story has an uncle who is religious.

The OP wore a simple, comfortable t-shirt and a pair of leggings to meet the rest of the family at the restaurant. Her uncle was there, and he had a problem with the T-shirt the OP had on.

"My uncle looked at my t-shirt and immediately hissed at me asking what I was thinking wearing a t-shirt like that in public and to go back to the hotel and change. I refused because I didn't want to walk all the way back to the hotel in a thunderstorm just to change my t-shirt," the OP writes.

OP's uncle refused to speak to her for the rest of the evening after telling her the t-shirt was extremely inappropriate for someone her age to be wearing anyway. OP's dad told her that she would have just changed, but she sought other opinions online.
