Mom’s response to my letter to my aunt:
Listen Marcus,
Don’t ever presume to know how I am feeling because you never will and never can!!!!!!!
I remain,
Your Mother
I am truly going to miss the “person I thought I knew”.
So, I wrote a long letter to mom last night but don’t think I will send it because it seems the more honest I am the more trouble it seems to cause. This is an uncomfortable place to be stuck in.
The words I heard the night I was forced to out myself to my parents still ring in my ears from time to time. They were very specific words that one doesn’t forget when they seem to be directed at you. Words like disgusting, sinful, evil, satan, ridiculous, impossible are words that can come back to haunt a person. Until I hear something dispelling those feelings what else am I to presume? This is a question that surrounds my very existence. At what point will I no longer hear the words that hurt me so much? I hear them when I am awake. They invade my dreams at night. I cannot escape them. I am a tortured soul caught between self-acceptance and self-loathing.

Wow, Karen. You really seem to have hit a brick wall with your family at this point – that sucks. I pray that you will eventually find the path to increasing the self-acceptance, and letting go of the self-loathing.
