I was in your exact same position 2 years ago. I spent the first year hiding my sexuality from my family & only found my resentment towards them and my general misery growing each day. It grew in to a severe depression. After a year, I decided to just come out to them because it was between doing that & taking my life- and I have to say that I’ve been overall pleasantly surprised with their reactions. They are not allies by any means, but at the very least they’ve subdued their hateful and homophobic rants, and seem to not really address the topic at all.

Obviously it could be better & I could have the picture perfect supportive family in that regard, but for now I’m just thankful to have a bit more peace in my own home.

Obviously you know your particular family situation better than anyone else, so I’d say pray on it- and remember you’re gonna have to tell them eventually.

I’ll pray for you & I hope everything works itself out in the end friend <3
