That's insane. Did you ever go home after that? Like that's... rejection to me.

I never went home much after that because it wasn't home anymore. Then I came out and things deteriorated even more. I wasn't allowed to tell my siblings (I'm the oldest) and I wasn't allowed to be alone with them. Nowadays I don't talk to my dad and I text my mom Merry Christmas once a year.

Fuck parents who keep their kids in the closet so hard.

Hey just so you know, myself and the rest of the world with the most baseline levels of empathy give you 100% permission to talk and be around anyone you so choose...not that you need the permission to begin with.

Thanks, I appreciate that, but all that was 20 years ago.
