Struggling with coming out to unsupportive parents

Hey, you know who you are, that is something to be proud of :) It is scary to not be supported by your fam… but the online LGBTQ+ community can be your virtual chosen family along the way :)

My parents said they wouldn't support me when I first came out, but when they saw how much happier I was they eventually came around. Idk if your parents would let you go to therapy or if you're already going, but if you can talk to a therapist about how to communicate with them and try bringing them in for a session so that there's a moderator in the conversation. Besides that, guppysoup pretty much said it. If you have at least 2 years until you can transition, then you have at least 2 years to plan and set yourself up for success when you do get your own place

Ah - Then I’m in the same situation right now. I would say to prioritize a couple things: 1) Figure out where you want to go. Do you want to live nearby? Do you have friends or accepting family to live near and rely on? 2) If you can, start saving up for a place (I would go for a minimum of 3x a month of rent if you can, which encompasses deposit, first month’s rent, and cheap supplies or furniture). That’s where I am starting right now! I really hope the both of us are able to find our way soon 💗

Move on from relying on my parents

For clarification, are you looking to move on from relying on your parents, or for a way to get them more comfortable?
