I think to have the self awareness that you have about it is the key.

Thank you so much for your encouragement! I am trying to make my faith my own and want to move away from the legalism my parents instilled in me without giving up Christianity or my savior. All the while, I am trying to be respectful and understanding of their beliefs and convictions. My parents love me and I love them, which is the most important thing. I realize that my parents God is a different God than the one of love and mercy. Thank you!
