    My parents and I don’t speak at all. They’re very Mormon, and I’m incredibly gay. I was excommunicated at 15 and kicked out of my home - living out of a car (illegally) or on friends’ couches. My mom still occasionally reaches out to me and tries to explain that if I just don’t act on my “urges” then I can be part of the family again. So uh, yeah.

    It’s made it very difficult to rely on anyone or really trust people in general.

      Its so disgusting that religions use these cult moves like isolate or suppress or whatever. Always the Prodigal Son story, mhm, yep, keep tellin yourself that when there’s no supply left.
