Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
My therapist says I don’t really have the right to be angry at my parents because they accept that I’m trans when it’s not generally accepted.
I’ve grown up in fear of them because of how bad the verbal and physical abuse was/is (mostly while I was younger).
I just can’t agree. I know how lucky I am. I’m on T as a minor. I’m literally blessed. I also know how I felt as a five year old, running from my dad, multiple times a week, as he chased after me, screaming how he’s going to kill me, and trying to often.
It’s a weird combination. One saved my life, the other ruined it. I’m so grateful, but I also will forever hate them (my mom for defending my dad no matter what, and hiding his actions from others like police and DYFS).
I feel like no one can really relate to this but I feel guilt for my anger/hatred/not forgiving them because of how accepting they are. It’s so weird.
