Me Or My Parents

By gironafc September 25, 2020 5 answers Last updated September 25, 2020

Hello! I have had a problem for a long time that I cannot share with anyone. I am a 15-year-old boy, I was born and raised in a Muslim family and that is the problem. My mother and father are very strict and religious and I don't know how they will accept that I am gay. My best friend and sister know and don't mind, but knowing my parents' attitude, I don't think I'll ever be able to live the life I want. Please give me advice and let the moderators publish my story, because it is very important to me. Thanks in advance!

   I know that 3 years is a long time, but I think wait until adulthood. When you become an independent person, tell them, then they can't tell you anything special (in my opinion) Abe, whatever happens, success <3

   Emmy, you last until you are 18. Then you start earning your own money and move out, but to be somewhere in a city - a big regional city. Otherwise, the problem is not that they are your Muslims, but that they are conservative. Conservatives are like 'horses with caps', no matter what their religious beliefs. Didn't you see what happened to the Istanbul Convention - just because someone somewhere said something about a 'third' sex ... The conservatives, if they could unite about the real problems of our country ... we would just be top of the tops .. even Switzerland would breathe our dust ... ;-)

   I have not been in this situation but from experience I tell you that a problem between people is solved by talking and compromises :) in the end if they are not okay to live with you you move out to a flat after 2-3 years and you live in peace

   Do not reveal your sexual orientation to your parents. after graduation leave home and go to work and live in another city. You can also go abroad. Gradually, they will warm up and talk about it. Yes, it is difficult for a parent to swallow this fact, there is nothing to lie about.

   Wait until you turn 18 and then move out, find a job and a place to stay, so that you are not in any way dependent on them. Then tell them. You can't change your orientation if they can't accept you like that, good health. What if they are your parents? The parent has to accept you no matter who you are, they are not your boyfriends to care who you have sex with. If they give up on you, it will be because of people's opinion. They may try and force you to pretend to be straight, but don't give in to them. If they don't accept you, it's their choice, and it will show you that they don't deserve to be a part of your life. When a person becomes independent, he is in the first place, parents are of secondary importance and it is not necessary to do what they like or approve of. I wish you a lot of happiness with your future partner. For the record, I'm a woman of 27,
