Have you ever cut out any of your family members from your life because they either didn't accept you for your sexual orientation or they made you suffer from abuse/bullied?
I cut out my Dad in 2010. Reason why? Because he doesn't accept me for being bi. I remember in 6th grade he sat me down to have a "Man to Man talk". At first I thought it was gonna be about sex and using protection blah blah blah but instead he told me to stop acting girly and to deepen my voice. I then heard my Step Mom mocking my voice in the background with a disgusted face! After years, once 2010 hit, I no longer visit them even though we live in the same small town. I only call him on Fathers Day, His Birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I only visit him on Christmas, that's it. As I got older, I trained myself to deepen my voice and even act masculine, stopped hanging out with girls, etc. but I'm still in the closet. My Mom says I'm wrong for that but she doesn't know what happened and why. She doesn't know I like guys or how I felt when he said that to me.
I cut out ALL my step cousins from my Step Mom's side in 2010 too. They are in a gang and they think I'm part of thier rival gang cause I look like a gangster aka a Sureno (A popular Latin gang here in Cali). I always felt like they were gonna plan jump me everytime we had Family get togethers.
I hate my Step Mom's whole family. The only people I kept in touch with are my Step Brother's. Despite many fights I had with them, they NEVER judged or critisized me.
I only kept in touch my aunt/cousins from my Dad side. I love her and my cousins to death.
And pretty much all my friends from college and high school except like 5 of them since they never judged me plus they were there for me when I tried to jump off a tall building to commit suicide
Holy ****, I typed an essay but needed to vent
Cutting negative people from my life was healthy for me. I'm preparing for my new life for 2015.
