It’s the same with me!

Rin Askashi December 2, 2018 7:46 am

My parents and foster parents are Christians and my mom is a pastor. All of my family are homophobic and I’m bisexual. My family talks about a lot of stuff like liking the opposite sex and how disgusting it is and I have to play along with it even tho I’m hurt. I’m afraid to come out and I dont think I ever will. They already verbally abuse me what are gonna do next? Kill me? There are reasons that I wouldn’t like to say about why I’m bisexual but I feel like I don’t fit in anywhere anymore. A lot of anxiety from past memories and verbally abused at home and with my friends at school too? It’s really hard to put off thoughts of suicide these past days..

    Sorry if that's too forward, it's just...bottling everything up tends to just make things worse, so I figure it helps to have someone to talk to, even if it's just a [probably slightly nosey] stranger on the internet?

    Nothing really. But if someone clearly needs help and understanding and if there are people willing to reach out and sympathize, let them. Dont be a dick about it. Thanks

    That's weird, if u are bi then you can just stick with the opposite sex to make your family happy, the end. MilkWise

    Clearly, you dont know shit.

    You have my support! I hope you can keep finding the strength to move forwards.
    I have no personal experience with such issues, but it must be extremely difficult for you.
    I hope one day you can leave that house and find someone to love who loves you in return.
    (⌒▽⌒) I hope things will become easier for you.

    Sooo...can I take that as confirmation that you could tolerate keeping me as a confidante? Nara Rim

    U-Um w-well if your flirting..no but if you aren’t then I’m willing to talk

    Ah, sorry if I’m being annoying..but does really relate to the manga. It said that uncles boyfriend parents were against him being gay and they said that it was Satan taking over and my mom is a pastor and that’s I’m afraid to come out. So I was just sayin that this made me even more nervous about coming out.. does that make any sense to you?...

    attd0004 December 4, 2018 4:47 pm

    its still your decision tho. but just accept the consequences (biblically speaking)

    Oh sorry! I totally didn't mean to come across as flirting, I just honestly think that you could benefit from having someone you can talk to about everything that's been bothering you. If you can think of someone who could fill that role in real life then great! If not, follow me or something?

    SERIOUSLY?!? You think it is THAT easy a thing to do? The heart is not so easily controlled, and if this person falls in love with another person of the same sex (something that can happen even if they try not to), they should feel SAFE and free to share that news with loved ones. This person does not have any kind of real support system like that in their home life. A person should NEVER have to pretend they are something they're not, just to appease a bunch of self-righteous bigots who think that their way is the only way there is. And if you cannot understand any of this or why what you said is SO wrong, then you need a lesson on the fluidity of sexuality across the spectrum, and what it really and truly means to fall in love with someone else that (for whatever reason) you are either NOT SUPPOSE to love, or who does not love you back. Cause if love were that easy to stop or control, I guarantee that there would be no such thing as unrequited love. A subject I happen to be an unmitigated expert in (much to my own dismay).

    I'm straight so, I don't know how hard it must be to come out to your family, even if I picture it, it wouldn't be enough. I don't judge I have friends who are gay, I accept them because they are still people. I understand the verbal abuse, my mother would call me a stupid bitch, slut, worthless, useless, etc. and I've had friends who also insulted me and did shit to me.
    My only advice to you-- your choice if you listen and learn from it or not--
    Fuck Them ALL!!! Say bye to those friends of yours because they're not really friends if they hurt you (that's what I did, got some new friends who don't make me feel bad) Prove to them(family) that you are better than what they think of you and if they still talk crap, don't listen to it. Let it enter through one of your ears and come out the other ear. Stop caring for what they think of you because if they are Christian they are sinful as hell for the way they treat you. I'm atheist but I know somewhere in the bible it says "you shall not dishonor your parents"? Well Heck! shouldn't it be the same for them. And suicide? really?! Do you think killing yourself is gonna change anything for you, it's the worst option. I've thought about it too- not gonna lie, but I didn't do it because I want to live happy, I wanna know that there's a good ending if I take the right roads and build the future me that I wanna see smiling, enjoying every moment. You need to prove to yourself that you're to precious to just disappear. And you know what, hold out for a few more years if you're still not 19 or 20 and gather some money, get the hell out of that house once you've got a secure place to live(or share a complex with a friend)(OR if you're going to college, do dorms and keep yourself busy that way you don't have to go home ever) Once you are on your own don't even keep contact with them just say your goodbyes(you can come out if you want to) and live your life the way you want to. Believe me or not but you are gonna met someone someday that is going to make you feel like staying alive was worth it. Just be careful because sometimes you'll have that feeling and that person might not be the one. Just don't kill yourself, I don't even know you and I care about you. Right now I'm living better than before, I'm 20 and I'm still working my way to happiness and I have no regrets, I feel more at ease now.

    Thank you so so much for taking the time out of your day to share this with me. This made me feel better bc I’ve been feeling down more than usual. You are a very kind and caring person and I can tell that just by this huge paragraph you didn’t have to write so I will take this into consideration and think about it every time I’m down. Thank you so so much!

    Sending you lots of love. I'm also bisexual and had a difficult coming out experience with my parents. Please know that even if your family might not accept you, you will always have a family with me and every other LGBTQ+ sibling out there. <3
