I'm a freshman in high school but I just want to move out. My parents don't love each other and are very emotionally abusive to each other. They love my brother and I very much and care for us as any parent should, but they often over-share their emotions or take things out on us (not physically of course). I'm just so tired of it. My biggest dream and biggest need is to have my own little house. I plan on getting a job next year and saving up. I'm sick of not having my own room, life, and privacy. Education is becoming meaningless to me and I'm not striving as much because of the paranoia and discouragement I get from my mom. On top of that, I'm a girl and have a girlfriend while my family is very homophobic. If they ever find out, my home life will be complete hell and my mom might throw me into Catholic school. I just want to focus on my own life and own expenses. I want to buy my own things, pay my own bills, whatever. I am definitely ready to live on my own.

I could so relate to some of your feelings! My parents divorced. It wasn't easy on anyone. It was also sad and stressful. My heart goes out to you! It must hurt!
I too used to make up blueprints and sketches of houses and small cottages. I too wanted to just get away. I hope you can find friend and others to share your feelings and things.
As to your parents being homophobic, OMG! I had the same thing! I had to keep things on the downlow for years! I just had so many things going on in my freshman and high school years too.
Hopefully you have time and break it to them about your orientation gently. (I am bi, something my parents weren't willing to accept easily--yet the weird part my mom I think knew all along.) It sometimes takes new thoughts or ideas time. Thank you for sharing!
