So I was listening to the song secrets one republic and I got inspired, so here I go “I’m gonna give allllll myyy secrets away” I guess I’ll start with the fact that I’m not straight and in the closest because my family is very open about they’re hatred for the lgbtq+ community. It doesn’t bug me to much that they don’t know I’m totally fine leaving my family at 18 and never coming back, just sometimes it gets to me that they’re so stuck in the traditional ways and I have to play along. Next secret I keep is about my dad, my parents have been divorced all my life and I grew up not knowing I had a dad. Which was a blessing in disguise because it turns out my grandpa is the best dad I could have asked for. Anyways a few years ago my parents had to go to court over money issues and my dad decided he wanted to see me and my brother on a regular basis all of a sudden after not caring for 12 years. Turns out my dad is a major creep, I don’t want to get into all the details but he would pin me to my bed and just make me feel uncomfortable, and I haven’t told anyone because I’m scared of him. The last thing for now is that I’m suicidal. I am diagnosed with depression but I think that’s just the tip of the iceberg, my mom doesn’t want to take me in for more tests because she doesn’t believe in mental illnesses. I don’t know why, it seems more realistic to me then religion does but anyways. My family doesn’t know about my attempts or my self harm or how I throw up after a lot of my meals. So those are my secrets, one more thing I want to add is my favourite quote. “Depression is like a war, you either win or die trying”

Remember when we used to sit in that one class together? Remember how our friend totally used to be the ironic third wheel, the one that got the most attention?...

My Unsent Letter
I never felt love until you left, although we were never romantic in any stretch of the word I can’t help but miss you every single day. It’s already been t...
Those are some big secrets! My youngest son is bisexual. He's had many relationships with both men and women. I love him because he can see the person's heart, not their gender. His current girlfriend is transgender. She was born with male "naughty parts" and is waiting for her final surgery. I'm sorry your family would not accept the real you. Be true to yourself. You'll be happier in the long run. I have depression also (long story...). Since your Mom won't take you to doctor, at least try to get some sunshine and exercise daily. It will help. Maybe there is an adult you can trust and talk to? If not, coming here is a good start. Good luck. Wish I could give you a big hug. Know that there are people out here who understand. Julia
Replythanks so much Julia, I like your son's perception on love because I feel the same way. That's why I said "not straight" rather than "bisexual" because I don't really know what I identify with just yet. All I know is a person's personality is far more important than whatever is between their legs. Anyways I wish you the best of luck as well <3
