But I had a need to tell them and it aggravated my dread. I endured these feelings for five years but finally I confessed my secret. This revelation is largely thanks to my wife, a Christian, and her family. My mother-in-law despite being a practicing Christian, welcomed me as an atheist into the family and my wife gave me insight I would have otherwise ignored.
