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

Truth is, you need to be loyal to yourself hun. This guy, as great as you say he is, either doesn't care enough to be straight with you or isn't well enough to be in a relationship. You gotta focus on you, that's why you're lost without him. That's not how any relationship should be. He should make you stronger for the time you were together, not you be a mess and unable to go on. That's not a good person. That's not someone to build a future with.

He should have taken your hand and talked to you, been honest and forthright, so you both could tackle it together, at least emotionally.

His actions show he isn't as good for you as you felt. He was a drug, but he wasn't improving your mental health, he just helped get you through the day and helped you forget. That's not going to last.
