Outed by a stupid cat

My parents stupid cat climbed into my closet and pulled out a wig I had hidden. Dumb cat. Now ive been outed to my extremely conservative family and they've seen my estradiol containers as well. I hate that I have to rely on them and im frankly in panic mode.

If I had money to keep a storage space id move everything out to a storage space. I wish so dearly I had parents who would be accepting and liberal but my parents voted for that demented ass face in office and have told me if I even talk about him badly ill be unwelcome to stay here. Im home for the holidays and frankly I dont want to return ever again. Im waiting on work to transfer me to another state but its taking way longer than anticipated and its killing me financially and emotionally. I just want to be free of them.

They use money to control their kids and purposely withhold funds unless you attend church and pray with them. If you bow to their god they shower you with money and gifts but if you dont they make life a living hell for you. Refusing to even give you a 10 minute car ride or use of a car that otherwise sits unused. Theyre the worst sort of people and the antithesis of Christian values. I attended bible college to appease them when I was younger and saw in college how much BS the church I was in spewed. I left the church and ever since its been like living next to jehovahs witnesses.

Im tired of it, but because of who they voted for the economy is such crap I cant afford to live alone. I need some support and to know there are others like me fighting to free themselves of abusive situations like this.

If I ever have a child I hope they never feel how I feel today. No child should ever feel so abandoned by their family. They dont support me in anything I do. And continuously make me feel bad for not believing in the same bullshit that I studied deeper than they every will and yet I saw how it was a lie and they cant seem to grasp that.

Please tell me im not alone in this. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. My name is emmie and I feel alone in the world.

Best

While im no longer in that situation what i can say is that it will get better than that. You said you have a job and are waiting to get transfered out. Thats more than i had when my family threw me to the streets for being trans. Its been over a decade now and im with people that care about me and ive managed to transition in spite of all the bullshit ive had to live through. Just stay strong and keep working to be free of them and somewhere else safe and stable as soon as you can.

As someone who recently escaped a similar situation and got kicked out I’ve now started my transition, things will get better it’ll jsut take time. You got this keep moving forward, and keep being strong and believing in yourself. You’ll get out of there eventually! Rooting for u!🍀
