Before now my Dad and step mum were always worried I was gay as a teenager. I eventually ended up in a long term relationship with a woman for 10.5 years. Before this they asked "wait you're not bi are you?" As if it would be worse than being gay.

Today they told me if I ever ended up in a relationship with a man they'd still love me...... this means so much to me as I suffer with mental health issues and have recently attempted to take my own life (not the first time) and am currently an inpatient in a psych ward and was out on day release with them. I still don't know about coming out to them but knowing I would be accepted has made me feel better about surviving my attempt despite the things I'm going through because of said attempt, like being an inpatient and getting a bedsore from not being moved enough in hospital.

For once I feel ....... loved? 🥹
