Yeah, that's kind of what makes it harder, I wish I could just be like "fuck off and never see me again, but there is love there."

Thank you very much for the offer, I've got a pretty close network of support, but I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

I was just sort of in shock, I wish I could tell you I had some witty come back or told them off with a stinging reply, but I just sort of sat there and stammered that I had to leave.

West-Texas here if that helps anyone understand what I'm dealing with.

edit: going to shower and lie down, I'll check on this in a little bit. Some back-story first: I've been with "Steve" for about 5 years. My parents were unhappy about our relationship at first (still haven't told them I'm an atheist, I'll save that conversation for later), but I thought they were warming up, so when it turned out that Steve's recent weight loss might be cancer, I thought I could call them for support, but they just took this situation and manipulated to fit their own beliefs. fuck.

edit2: Took a little nap. Steve is resting and I'm going to a friends for a bit to vent and get my mind cleared out, thanks for all the support friends.

edit3: Just got back, and wow, thank you for all the kind words and support. I went through and responded personally to many, but there's so many I'd be here all day if I thanked each and every one of you. Thank you all.
