Hi I 25f need help knowing if I am just being overly sensitive or not. I live with my sister’s family (sister, brother in law, our younger brother, three nephews, my brother in laws elderly father, two dogs and a cat). About three weeks ago I told my brother in law I wanted to go check out a local Catholic Church. I had never been to church as an adult and I was curious. I’ve been twice not but decided not to go this Sunday because I have just finished working 6 days in a row and I was helping in the prep kitchen yesterday and I was lifting a big box of celery. Like I’d say at least 40 - 60 pounds by myself and then had to try to open the walk in cooler door by myself as well. When my brother in law questioned me as to why I wasn’t going to church he called it “far fetched”. Since I expressed an interest in going to church he has been, I feel, unnecessarily mean to me. Like for no reason. He is a baptized Catholic and he works as a mechanic. I have been living with them for almost 4 years and I haven’t seen or heard him go to church once. He has questioned me on why I wanted to go to church and on what version of the bible is best. I’m not a baptized catholic and I haven’t started OCIA yet but I also feel like missing one day of mass when I watched the live stream instead isn’t bad when I specifically didn’t go because I needed to rest. I don’t know. I just feel like he’s been unnecessarily mean to me. He works as a mechanic and I currently work in a small grocery store. But I do have a job interview on Monday for a front desk position in a doctor’s office which I am really hoping and praying I get.
