Dear Amy: I'm flying home with my girlfriend over the Thanksgiving holiday to meet my family. For background, I recently left a religious order because I met this young woman and wished to pursue a relationship with her. Mom said I'd be visiting for Thanksgiving and invited her to come back and visit while I'm home. However, given the complication of your leaving a religious order to be with your girlfriend, you’ll need to understand that you are giving your parents a lot to handle. It could also be her way of indicating that she understands you are no longer committed to the religious order.
