I think my family hates me...

thanks all for the great responses! i really appreciate it.

i'm sorry you have to go through this. do you have any friends you can turn to, just for emotional support? not everyone thinks like your family does, i can assure you.

i don't have anyone in my life i would consider a friend. there is my family and people at church i grew up with (and now that i'm not going back there that just leaves my family...). i reached out to a few people i hang out with at high school in order to come out to them. two responded back and i've been in contact with them a little.

also, i have my cousins. they have showed me support, but they all live in different states from me.

Life's not fair, and some people do have crappy families. I don't know if your situation is actual or perceived, but either way you're still free to go forth and create your own new surrogate family. Surround yourself with close friends and loved ones whom do support you.

thanks, i'm not sure if the situation is just my perception or not either, but the fact that i perceive it this way still isn't good. i'm just biding my time until i'm able to leave home.

in fact, i just checked my email and i finally have a response from the school i applied to. i'm so nervous to actually open it though, because if this falls through than i'm pretty much doomed....
