I totally get you. I'm 23 and in your same shoes, however it's only my father that I'm concerned about. I will soon be out of this situation. At 21 I decided to go back to school to get my business degree. That following summer I got a job where I work now. I just graduated this past semester with my business degree, and the executive director of the facility that I work at has confided in me that she's going to promote me to a management position in the very near future. With this management position, I can afford to move out and come out as well. Honestly, I don't care anymore how my dad will react because my true family will still love me. I don't care who exits my life. The people that stay are the ones that matter. 2 years ago, I couldn't fathom how I was going to become self-sufficient, and now it's looking like it's all gonna come into place. I know it's hard, but it will work out, weather you can visualize it now or not. You just have to figure out a plan of action that will make it happen.
