If so, how did they take it (I'm guessing "not well"), and where do things stand now?

I stopped attending church in my teens

How did that happen? Did they not force you to join them?

I was fortunate that my father was still agnostic at the time and wouldn't allow my mother to force me to church after I decided I wasn't going. He later converted after he was diagnosed with cancer, so had that happened earlier, I probably would have been shit out of luck.

As it was, my mother still harassed me for years after, until I finally cut contact.
