Unlike the Ramadhan month where there are countries that fast together as a nation, Lent/fasting is not particularly as popular in many Christian faiths. For those who do practice Lent, their fasts and Lent rituals/habit differ from person to person, family to family.
Lent is (ideally) a spiritual calling that is personal, between you, your soul and the Divine. Because of that, Lent season can change a person as one dives deeper into the Self. Which you may think is great but not everyone in the family or community gets on board with the new changes, the new rituals, the new you. Especially when the ritual involves coming out as the new you. It can get messy.
