Why won't, or can't my parents just accept me as I am? What do they have issues with? Me being happy? Me being pansexual? Me in general? Can't they just help me out or tell the truth? Can't they accept me in God's image, or am I goin' to hell for wearing pink boxers? Acceptance

it is unfortunate that people cant be more accepting. parents watch their kids grow with a certain picture of who they will become and it is difficult to accept that their vision is not going to be fulfilled. it is a shame that society puts so many stipulations on what is normal and acceptable,.

Yeah. I think a lot about how things would be, if I was just honest with my parents and came clean with everything.

But I also think a lot about the consequences if I did. How much pain would be caused. Nowhere to go if I get kicked out.

My family will never accept me as I am. As Johnny, so I keep quiet about things. Put on a fake smile, and hope things are fine.

I bet they would feel a part of me left, and wouldn't view me in the same light ever. If they knew my true thoughts and feelings.

What is normal? No-one knows. Not even society.

I'm sorry for what you're going through..I think good loving genuine parents just wants what's best for their kids. They want them to be happy and well adjusted. Some can't let go of having a child that's "normal" in their perception you can't have those things if you're not "normal". I hope talking with them about your sexuality helps

I guess so. It hurts me a lot sometimes.
