I understand. My mother doesn't accept my homosexuality and my siblings don't accept me as I am--my level of honesty... I've removed myself from their lives. I'm better off now, much better off. I should've done this sooner, but I was too afraid of the unknown. It took hitting bottom for me to leave Texas and my family of origin. I'm keeping in touch with one sister...
It's still difficult, but it's better being true to myself and sincere than a people pleaser.
Happy New Year, y'all!
