  • Why is my peace lily wilting?

    I've had two young peace lilies for a few months now. One has always been slightly healthier than the other, but recently the healthier one suddenly started to look worse and worse (the other is fine). The one I'm concerned about used to be healthy and happy, but has started to wilt over the past two days, the lower, smaller leaves slowly turning black. The plant gets direct and indirect sunlight, plenty of ventilation to its roots, and I water it about once a week. I watered it when I noticed it wilting, but since then it's only gotten worse. Now, all of the leaves are wilting, and some are turning yellow. (Some smaller ones have turned completely black, and I cut them off this morning).

    Is there anything that I can do? What's wrong with my plant?

  • Considering coming out to my religious mom as pansexual and genderqueer.. any guidance?

    My mom is Jewish, and in the past few years has become very religious. (As an example, when I confessed my obvious atheism a few years back, the result included many tears and her screaming that I've broken her heart.)

    Our relationship hasn't always been great, but in the past year or so it's been really good (aside from the religious issues) and that means a lot to me. However, at the same time, I don't like feeling the need to hide things from her, especially something like my sexual/gender identity.

    I'm 19, attending an out of state college, so I can express myself as I want to without her knowing, for the most part. But I'm going home for summers, and again, I don't like keeping something this from her, especially when it's so important to me and who I am. However, I don't want to hurt our relationship, or her.

    To those who have come out to religious parents, what was your experience? Any suggestions?

    Thanks :\

  • Jewish view on atheist, genderqueer, bisexual children?

    I'm 19, pansexual (for simplicity, we'll say its the same as bisexual if you dont know what pansexual means), and genderqueer (assigned the female gender at birth, but do not identify as female).

    My mom is a religious Jew-- when I confessed my obvious atheism to her about two years ago, for example, the result included many tears and her screaming at me. Things have gotten somewhat better since then, but she still says that she's worried about me not practicing Judaism, says I'm "struggling with my faith in G-d" (which I view as denial-- I haven't felt myself "struggling" regarding my belief in god for many years), and says she's worried about the fate of both of our souls if I don't return to the path of Judaism.

    As I said before, I'm pansexual and genderqueer. Religion aside, I have a really good relationship with my mom, and that's really important to me. I really don't want to hurt her, or hurt our relationship. On that note, I really hate keeping things from her, especially when I feel like I have to.

    I'm trying to decide whether or not I should come out to her. I hate keeping her from this (important) part of me and my life, but on the other hand I don't want to jeopardize our relationship, or break her heart, both of which I fear telling her the truth may do.

    Any suggestions, preferably from religious Jews? What would you do in this situation? What would you want your child to do?
