today has been one of the worst days over the past few years and I really needed to get it out before my mind drifts too far off. i was forced to come out today. it wasn't my choice. i had no control over it. it hurts me so so much that i could not take the time to do it on my own, i wasn't ready. my dad was talking at dinner about a very bad topic and he was being very very homophobic, so i spoke out on it. this lead him to say "if any of my children come out as gay or whatever, i would consider my life a disappointment." this hurt me very deeply and i began to tear up, since i identify as bisexual. i was crying silently, trying to stop myself, because i didn't want to give myself away. he started yelling at me and asked why i was crying, so i asked if i could go eat outside, to which he said no to. i left anyway, but he was screaming at me the entire way out. i broke down outside, like, convulsing sobs, because i was considered an utter failure in my fathers eyes, it hurt.my step mum and my sister figured it out and they asked me about it, which caused me to hurt so much more, even though they were supportive of it. i had no control over my own coming out story.
i wasn't planning on coming out till college, when i had more control over my life. now my dad hates me and im not allowed to go to his house anymore.
does anyone have any advice on what to do ? im pretty shaken and my mind isn't in the right place.
Nooe. You don’t bother anyone. The best advice I can give is screw him. At least that’s my mind set. As a lesbian with some v e r y conservative family, that’s the mindset I adopted. If they are really upset/angry that I want to be happy with a nice lady, then they aren’t worth my time to worry about. I apologize if that doesn’t make sense, it’s a bit awkward to put into words. Basically, if they don’t strive purely for your happiness, screw them and what they think. Make yourself happy by ignoring his hate and ignorance. So long as you’re safe, and it sounds like your mom can help you with that.
Feel free to ask me any more questions or anything! I answer all PMs, and that goes to anyone else who needs it
