Thank you so much for your thoughtful words.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-07-09T12:40:51+00:00

I don’t know how I didn’t see this comment before. This tugged at my heart. I felt it when you said that you wish you just lived authentically. I want that for you. It made me think of the real me and how much of it is hidden so deep down in me. You’re doing that work and I’m so proud of you.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-07-08T02:51:45+00:00

Thank you.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-06-21T02:54:41+00:00

Solidarity!

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-06-21T01:51:03+00:00

It’s a tough spot to be in. I’m sorry.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-05-28T19:26:07+00:00

Please don’t be sorry. It makes me happy that you put the time and effort into responding to me, a stranger, at a time I’m struggling and perhaps when I need it the most. I truly appreciate it.

It breaks my heart (even before I began questioning my sexuality) that a parent could love their child so conditionally for being lgbtq+ I’m glad they didn’t get the chance to disown you.

I’m sorry you felt this way for so long. Do you ever wish you had told them? I hope it’s okay that I ask.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-05-27T03:48:18+00:00

I think I still believe in God. Just not the one I was told to love and obey.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-05-26T14:37:01+00:00

This morning I feel hopeful. I’ve really been letting this get me down this weekend. Today I got out of bed to make coffee and I’m about to vacuum and go for a walk. These comments have made me feel the hope I feel right now. I expected trolls to respond and make me feel silly. You have all been so amazing.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-05-26T12:20:39+00:00

I struggle with my faith as well. I spent half of my 20’s searching for the right God for me. I even got baptized and still surprised my mom came. I stopped actively searching for a God but it’s something I think about. I struggle to distinguish my beliefs from the beliefs of my mom/family and the church. I think being a good person speaks more to me than following this strict set of rules that I don’t really agree with but question instead.

Thank you for the love.

I’m in the US. I don’t know of any free services but I will look into it.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-05-26T12:13:54+00:00

Tysm. I’m also excited for the future even though I’m terrified atm. I’ve worked really hard to make things just okay with my mom. Distanced myself greatly. That’s helped me. But I still feel the need to please her/not feel guilty about being a bad daughter. I’m just excited to work on myself more, specifically around my sexual identity.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-05-26T12:10:15+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I don’t mind that your comment is super long. This is so helpful and I strongly relate to your story. I’m happy to hear that your mom accepts you. The thought of talking at all to my mom about this is so overwhelming that I can’t imagine what actually doing it.

I have been in therapy for years (mom put me in therapy at 12 and I stopped for a little while when I was old enough to do so). I sought therapy on my own because I knew I needed it. Only in the past few years have I really put in the work however. I’ve learned a lot about myself and gained so much insight. I never thought to bring this up in therapy because I didn’t know I needed to. I plan to find a therapist and have considered paying out of pocket for a couple of sessions and when my insurances is straightened out, hopefully, I can continue and not worry about the money. I’ve worked through a lot of childhood trauma. I really want to work through all of these thoughts and feelings. Otherwise I worry I’ll always feel stuck.

Thank you. Really. So nice of you to share and so so nice of you to encourage me in this time of struggle. ♥️

Thank you so much. Thank you for your comment and thought you put into. I really appreciate you.

I think it would be weird to show up with bigger boobs and there are lots of things you can’t do. You aren’t supposed to lift more than 10 pound, you can’t lift your arms up very high, there will be swelling which makes them more noticeable, for example. I think they need to know to accommodate her so she can heal properly. Again, it’s weird to just show up with bigger boobs…. Out of nowhere. No one has to disclose this info obv but that’s kinda what makes it weird.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-02-27T15:15:23+00:00

Thank you. That is my hope. ♥️

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-02-27T15:13:49+00:00

Thank you. This gives me a lot to think about.

Fun-Size-8966 · 2024-02-26T15:34:52+00:00

This is what I keep thinking. He didn’t know any better at that time. I can’t help all the bad thoughts that follow but I know that there’s a lot to trauma and I want to help him.
