Whats the Best way to forget/accept?

Asked by Koxufoxu (1701points) May 14th, 2022

Hi! I am gay and my familly is very homophobic. They almost discovered it once and I almost lost my home. To this day I cant see them like I saw them before and sometimes I am getting very stressed when I am around them for too long. How to forget it or accept it or whatever else

I hate to say it but it sounds like your family that needs to accept things. I am NOT gay so I have never gone through what you are going through. But I have had kids. And kids do things that I wouldn’t want them to. They make decisions I wouldn’t think are right. But my job as a parent is not to live their lives for them. Part of it is to do my best to help them understand how to think things through before making decisions and then living with their decisions. And to date, I haven’t found a single decision they have made (even the ones I didn’t like) that made me stop loving them.

I’m not sure how old you are, but at some point you will need to live your life. The alternative is that you let them dictate your life for the rest of it. That ends up making you bitter. Don’t go that route.

You are in a bad situation. It’s awful. I’m sorry this is happening.

Thank you for messaging me with a bit of information. I think it’s best if we continue to message privately to think of a way out for you. Please message me again. There is at least one organization here in the West that may be able to rescue you.
