Lately I feel like I live with someone who has already decided I’m the villain before I even open my mouth.

I’ll ask…
My family life isn’t the most perfect. My mother and my stepfather married when I was just born. She married him to get a visa and for financial stability.

I (19-year-old male) told my mother I was gay today.
To start with, I've know i was gay for years yet I've never told anyone, not a friend, not an acquaintance, and especially not a family member. The though of coming out was near paralyzing to me, i feared so much. I feared I'd be shunned, i fear they'd treat me…
