I'm not an ex bahai but I grew up around the faith. Most of my family are Bahai. I never joined, even though they tried to get me to sign the card at 12, although my mom is and my father is...they respect my decision.

However, my other family...They found out I wasn't recently. And told me off.l that I was not following the Kitáb-i-Aqdas (The Most Holy Book) Said I was supposed to. That I should be considerate of them. And the rules were in there. It made me feel horrible. Even though I am not Bahai. My parents were very angry when they found out. Its caused a family rift. All because I said I wasn't Bahai.

Do these things happen? Anyone have a similar story? How do you deal??
