Do other family members know about this? If they do what is their take? Your father for example, if your mother is married. Brothers or sisters if you have any? Anyone very close to your mother might provide you with more options.
I have no idea about dad. He claims to absolutely hate the church, but still attends mass and sees it as a way of life.
The rest of my family are devout Catholics.
I obviously don’t know enough about stereotypical Italian families to think clearly about them—I wouldn’t have thought that cursing (men cursing in front of women?) and fashionable clothes were issues.
Cursing in general. If I were to curse in front of my grandparents or extended family, I would receive a stern lecture and a shocked gasp. The same is expected of both of my parents. My dad doesn’t particularly care and does what he wants, which earns him a bit of disdain. I meant fashionable as in provocative. I was being a bit vague, on purpose. It’s awkward.
