ikno- hi! i totally get you as I am going through the same thing. My best advice to you is try not to focus on ur differences so much. when i got home from seminary it was very easy for me to feel different as I dressed differently and most importantly, in my head i had a whole different life I was going to live and none of them were going to get me. but slowly i realized that at this moment in time, while im still living in my house i need to focus on what we have in common. so Ive been doing that and baruch Hashem it’s been working great. Yea its annoying often when they are doing things I oppose, but they are your family. embrace the fact that you have them. and keep connection with them through your commonality. dont alienate yourself because your more religious. show them that you love all jews including them! your lucky to begin with that they are at least religious! hashem put u in that family for a reason, so embrace it, dont throw it away because your so different.
