He spends time with them because he wants to be left alone.
And while they discuss their beliefs, (as it is their right to do), I am sure that kicky NEVER mentions his beliefs to them, (to maintain consistency with his stated objection to same).
what a bullshit answer.
talk about being obtuse, real life. kicky doesn't want to have his family leave him alone, he obviously cares for his family and wants to converse with them....except for the area where they push their belief on him.
I don't think kicky mentions his beliefs or lack of, as the initiator of a conversation....his replies to them are in answer to their pushing. I don't remember ever reading a post by kicky saying he walked into their home and spontaniously spouted his beliefs, as the initiator
They are not merely discussing their beliefs in kickys presence, if they did that, and didn't include him, that'd be no problem. They try to convert him, taking action. That's not talk.
What if, whenever they all got together, kicky started seriously discussing his devotion to S&M, telling them over and over how it saved his life, freed his mind, and generally was something he now felt everyone should follow. He could send relatives bondage magazines, and send them emails forwarding vital information on the practice and belief of the mater/slave relationship.
When they object to hearing/viewing all this, he can insist this is really the one true way to go to make their lives complete.
Would you not feel his family would be within their rights to say "We don't believe in what you're saying/doing, but, despite that, we love you. We don't want to cut you out of our lives. We wish that was one subject that you would not bring up anymore when we get together, and stop sending us magazines and emails about it."
