This is really excellent advice...I have no family except a father I haven't heard from in close to 9 years, so the family I've forged is even more precious to me.
And honestly, I don't believe that they hate you. They don't understand you, and people fear and feel threatened by things that they don't understand. if you choose to live a life that's radically different from theirs, it calls all their choices and decisions into question. That can be pretty scary for people whose belief system is rigidly defined.
And yeah...I know that none of this helps on a feeling level, all I can say is
Stay Strong
