Hey guys, so Im 15, I'm a lesbian and I'm not out of the closet. Coming out is the hardest thing in the world for me. My parents have always told me that they support gays, but I don't think my mom is very compfortable with them. My dad says he supports gay people, but he always makes gay jokes and he hates trans people. I don't think they will accept it.
I haven't come out, but I've been dropping hints. I act more mascline, dress more masculine, etc.
I've been doing this ever since I was 14, when I knew I was finally able to admit it to myself. I think my parents are catching on, and they don't really know how to handle it.
They have been taking out they're anger on me. I haven't been physically abused, but that dosent mean it won't happen. I have been verbally abused though. My parents insult me all the time and take things away from me for no reason. I have a really hard time with school because I have ADD, so it's hard for me to remember things. I study really hard and I still don't do well. My parents both have called me stupid and tell me that my life will go nowhere. They never used to treat me like that, at least before I started giving them hints about my sexuality.
My parents also tell me that I can't go to places, or hang out with my friends, etc. When I ask them why they just say that they are disappointed in me. I've tried talking to them so many times and it never works.
I cant just stop giving the hints. I can't stop dressing the way I dress, or acting the way I act, because my sexuality is a part of me and it changes that. If I've come that far, why go back? ...you know.
How can I get them to stop taking out their anger on me? Please someone give me some advice.
Thanks.
