My parents have been giving a lot of mixed signals so indon't know if I can come out or not.

On one hand they don't talk shit and don't get pissy about pride flags and stuff and actually seem supportive. On the other they are extremely religious. To the point where they get pissed when I don't want to go to church. Wish I had a clear answer. Extended family is even worse. Everyone is extremely

I don't even know why I bother. Everything has been crashing down recently. My family is probably unaccepting. I'm pretty sure my boyfriend left me. Don't know why I keep going. I'm just sick and tired

I'm so sorry hon, I totally feel you. It's really hard having to deal with family, people you get told are gonna stick by you no matter what, just for them to turn out to be the most judgey assholes you can find.

Just know that there are plenty of people in the world who love you for who you are, and I hope you're able to find your people eventually. Everything may be going to shit now, but there's always gonna be something to fight for in the end.

You've made it this far, you're so much stronger than you may feel, and I'm proud of you for sticking it out. You got this <3

Just don't know why I keep going. I clearly don't belong in my overly religious community and I'm losing what's left of my sanity
