    I can’t go to college without my parent’s money, I can’t make friends because my parents don’t like me hanging out with people they don’t know. I can’t be myself because I’m too liberal, feminine, gay. I can’t do anything so I might as well just curl up into a ball and wait until I graduate because there’s absolutely no way I can even exist in my parents house without becoming a fucking statue.

    Mood : Tired
    • Be proud of who you are, embrace it @suiei, your parents really should support you in whatever you do, have you tried to talk to them about how you feel, make them see things from your point of view, be honest with them and speak from the heart, I do hope that everything goes well, I’m always here if you need someone to talk too, message me anytime if you want, my inbox is always open, stay strong, you are never alone :) (hugs)

    • Thanks Oli, you’re a true friend and hero on this site. I don’t think that this issue can be resolved by simply talking about it, but it’s good to know that I have people who are supportive because sometimes when I’m at my parents house I feel a bit isolated from the outside world. Since I only have to spend about 4 months a year at my parent’s house (the rest of the year I’m in college), I feel like it’s definitely manageable, but difficult. But for now, I think the best thing for me is to focus on getting through college and worrying about my relationship with my parents after that, because at that point I’ll have enough financial independence to be able to cut them out of my life if it ultimately has to come to that. I’m hoping it doesn’t though, but at the same time I have a lot of built up anger towards them and I don’t know how that’s ever going to get resolved. I’m talking to a school counselor and that has helped, and I’ve also finally been able to start trusting my friends to the point of being able to talk to them about my problems. Anyways, I’m obviously a bit of a confused person, but I’m glad you took the time to send me a nice message. Have a great day.
