In my situation, the intolerance of my own family in regards to 'morals' in which they, especially the most important person in my life to date, my Mother, has added to my emotional illness and new emotional problems continue to date over her belief of sexuality.

I love my Mother more than everything in the world, only 16-years ago she made it very clear that my sexuality was 'one of the things we do not talk about'. The result of PTSD and Abuse never being able to speak of when occured years ago as well as all the aspects of my life 'not talked about' When I needed her, she has always been there with this exception. I can never be open and honest with my Mom, she has made that decision. Causing me to have years of supressed emotion's of distress.
