advice for living with homophobic family?
tw for homophobia and brief mention of suicidal thoughts
where do i start with this… i’m 20, i’ve never been attracted to men. i thought something was wrong with me but at 14 i started to get crushes on women and realised i am a lesbian (it took me a long time to be comfortable using that word to describe myself to be honest) i’ve never told anybody this
i live at home with my family, my childhood was okay… ish i don’t really feel comfortable sharing details but they have always been very openly homophobic and lately their hateful comments have been really affecting me more and more, even my young sister is saying slurs all the time…
i have to be quiet and pretend it doesn’t affect me even though it really hurts me, i’ve struggled with suicidal thoughts and depression for most of my life and i usually just stay in my room most of the time to avoid them
unfortunately moving out isn’t an option for me, i’m disabled, have no friends, no money and nowhere to go
any advice on staying sane while putting up with this?😅
