My parents to this day have gone on like nothing ever happened and I remain closeted. Luckily I still have my privacy and my friends are super supportive.
Yeah, my dad is like that. I could be closeted, wearing a frilly dress and a big ol' Minnie Mouse bow on the top of my head, and my dad wouldn't treat me any different than he does right now. Right now, I am as out as I know how to be. I dress like a man and do alot of other things that could be easily considered a "guy thing." But it just blows right past him like a breeze. Even with all this talk about this stupid bathroom law in NC that's screwin' with us all over the news in his face, he pretends that I am not a part of that. I even commented on it, but he just ignored me and offered no response until the other stories not pertaining to transgender people came on.
Yeah, Emily, I feel like you. I am grateful for all my father has done. But I am ready to disconnect from him in a heartbeat as soon as I am stable enough in my finances. I'm working towards my certificate in medical office administration. I hope you can get to a point in your life where you can say, "Hey, I've had enough. If you can't accept me for the real me, then I have to leave." I wouldn't leave out of the blue like you mentioned earlier. I would tell them in a letter at least or over the phone, if your comfortable enough. Do they use email? I hope all goes well.
