Right, I came out to my Mum as being transsexual just before my 16th birthday, I'm now 17, turning 18 and my Mum has done nothing but give me shit since I came out, she won't let me be myself, I can't afford to move out and too scared to defy her cos she can get abusive. I would tell social services she can get abusive but social services has been in my life before and I told them I was being abused, they rang my Mum, asked if she was abusing me, my Mum said 'No' and they took her word for it, didn't even investigate it. Obviously my trust in social services has faded plus turning my Mum in to any authority isn't something I'm keen on doing. At the end of the day she's my Mum and I'd feel like I'm betraying her.
She constantly calls me and my LGBT friends freaks though and she generally treats me like shit, not that she didn't before I came out but she's done it a lot more since I came out. It's like she doesn't even love me and she forever speaks illy of the LGBT community as well, in fact it isn't just the LGBT community, according to my Mum, people who are LGBT, have mental illness, who are depressed, who generally don't fit into what she classes as normal are all freaks and attention seekers and when she calls me and my mates freaks she says it with such hatred.
People keep telling me she's in denial but how she talks about all these subjects...she doesn't sound like she is.
What do you think?
My Mum won't listen to anyone, tried having heart to hearts, tried having someone inbetween us to try and keep her calm, she just shouts no matter what, she won't let you speak or explain anything on that subject.
