Im glad I took this long to finally say it though seeing as Im old enough and is aware of what steps to take so I dont go down a road of feeling lost and abandoned. I have a strong support system from my friends and my boyfriend so for now Im content with the situation. I miss my mom a lot though. Even though we still live in the same house there's still a degree of separation.

They started to treat me more and more like a child and were very persistent in asking me about women, sex, family and Id have to always lie or change the topic because I know how they are. My coming out was so awkward as the only thing my mom cared about was how her friends and other people would view HER. She didnt even care about how I felt.

I went through all of this last summer with my mother. Her way of dealing with it was exactly what you're going through right now and it was for a couple of weeks too. Just dead ass silence and neglect. I had zero support so I just dealt with it on my own because I obviously needed a place to live. But the crazy thing about this was that she had gotten sick and needed me to be there for her so we finally gave in. I mean that's my motherf*cking mother so we put the bs aside. After she got out of the hospital we were on good terms but she pretended like it never happened so I'm back to square one and I'm gonna have to "come out" again but she knows so I don't owe **** to her on that one.
She let you stay in the house right? Obviously she still loves you even though she's being a mess right now but give her time and you never know something might happen (hopefully not her ending up in the hospital) and she'll pull through.
