I seriously suggest you establish contact with some Orthodox monasteries and remain where you are for the time being....

Thank you .

Unfortunately, though, my mom won't let me visit an Orthodox parish or priest. She doesn't want me converting.

She doesn't want me leaving Catholicism, lol.

In fact...you are not leaving catholicism, you are converting to it. Roman Catholicism does not exist in its traditional orthodox form anymore and perhaps especially not after Second Vatican Council.

What is left is greek (and russian and serbian, etc) catholicism.

Lol, true. I don't believe modern Catholicism is truly Catholicism at all (thus, my affection for Trad RC Churches).
