*sigh* So, it's been a long time since I've been on here! Life got busy I guess.
Well, my son and I were going to go to San Diego to visit my sister next week. I got an email yesterday saying that she doesn't want me to visit, because I believe in reincarnation. That, and the signature on the bottom of my emails "drive her crazy." (He is able who thinks he is able~Buddha) She said that she doesn't want me around her 3 y.o. daughter because of the reincarnation thing. She said she remembers my son telling her that he remembered his past lives in Egypt and Japan, and that concerns her. My sister is a Christian. She thinks that everyone who is not a Christian is going to burn in hell. I just wrote to her and told her that I won't argue my belief system because I believe that we all have free will as to what we believe. It's pretty sad, though, that she thinks my beliefs are so bad that she won't let me be around her daughter. She had a new baby in April, and I wanted to meet her. This makes me so sad. SO SAD.
Anyway, do any of you have issues like this? My friends who also believe in reincarnation, and have family member who don't, said that their families just agree to not talk about their beliefs around each other. That's what I usually do when I'm around my sister...avoid the topic. So, I guess this was a total shocker to me.
