Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Now, freed from the expectations, worldview, and belief systems of a religion, she is able to choose her own way of living?

In the same way that throwing a child into the ocean is "free to learn how to swim", sure. You can't go to all this work to convince someone you are right, and then as soon as they start listening and agreeing with you, abandon them to despair. If you want to help someone see the world more clearly, you also have to show them how to handle this new world, especially if it's your own family you're trying to help.

I do agree that abandonment is cringe.

On their own journey, I'd be wary of introducing my own biases.

I feel that easily could've been excluded from the comic either for the author's narrative, or simply to keep it a 3 panel. Could also just be alone time to process.
