hang in there its only till January right around the corner and I know your thankful for having a roof over your head and that your inlaws have opened there house to you. I'm sure there feeling confined and missing there privacy too. Try to continue working this will help be away from the house as much as possible and when you are home try to find a quiet place where you can read a book or even soak in a tub for a bit its only a couple more months in the mean time you enjoy planning and having parties. why not get a pad and pen out and start planning this wonderful party your going to have once you get your new home. take this time to prepare and jot down ideas of what you want with this new house warming party. this should carry you through till January. good luck

This happend to someone I knew.\n\nwhat I suggest is keep on truckin' and be who you are.  Unfortunately in our society there will be people who will not accept for who you are, family included.  \n\nSometimes its too hard on them when they see you as a woman, some families prefer to just turn a blind eye and pretend that everything is alright.\n\nHopefully you have an open-minded family.\n\nClose-minded religious folks + GLBT is like oil and water.

You must be happy with yourself first! Spend as much time with your family as you can, do things together, with no outside disruptions. Go fishing, camping, bicycling, walking, play a game, whatever it takes. Just learn to enjoy each others company.

i would tell an adult atleast. tell your teachures. they can do everything that is needed. they are trained to deal with family desturbances. i hope you are all right. noone should have to deal with problems like that.

Wow.  I'm in the same situation. \n\nThe only things I suggest are...\n-try to be more mature: maybe they'll feel that you're more responsible and let you have a bit more freedom\n-Be nice (actually):  maybe if you do what they want (ex: good grades, homework done on time, no whining..etc) they would feel proud for you, and give you some kind of reward\n-interact with them more often:  no matter how relentlessly boring or painful this might be, getting to know your parents is a big thing.  After all, they're not going to be with you the rest of your life - they just give you the start.  If you learn what they are like, maybe they would learn more about you.  Then they might know your need for something and let you do it, for it's very important to you.  And anything important to you that is completed, would make you happy.  And parents want their kids happy.\n\nIt's a whole cycle.  \nGood luck!

Whatever it was that made them disown you will surely dim as time passes. Give them time to cool off, do a lot of growing up yourself then you make the grand gesture yourself. It may take years, and pride will surely get in the way (on your part or theirs) but in the end having family means everything. Once you grow up and change your ways (if that is it) they will surely see the light.

Please do not get disheartened moving to a new place i s avery difficult experience everytime even for the most adaptable person. But all one needs to remeebr is that these difficulties are all temporary. soon, u will start finding things that you will like in this new place and one by one things will start falling in place and you will have a great time here. So keep the faith and remember to keep a smile no matter how hard the times are..the good momments are around the corner.

show them that he is a good person and how well he treats you, thats really all you can do, maybe if they see those sides to him they will lessen up on the issue alittle bit and not judge him by the color of his skin, but by his character and as an individual, if not then remember that you will always love your parents and will want them to accept whatever life choices you make, but they wont always like what you choose and it is afterall your life and you and you alone have to account for your own happiness....*good luck*

When you find out you let me know! My whole family doesn't know me. I am nothing like they think I am and they treat me so oddly. They should talk to me and get to know me. \n\nMaybe you could try to talk to them. It couldn't hurt.

study people watch how they react to certian things and their posture, their tone, theis movenemts, what they are wearing.  It takes practice, and time.  Remember, a single glance can tell you a lot about someone.  Try this: sit in the park and watch people, you can even start by watching your family nad feeling what is going on.  You will fell a difference that is suttle in the "air" about the area.  After you get your family down, move on to strangers and just talk to people.  Good luck.

Be honest with your family. If they love you they will come to accept your life choices. You have to be true to yourself and not live your life for other people.

sit down and tell them youre moving out, whys it so hard?  explain why youre moving out, with whom if its somebody, where youre moving to, be mature about it.  they should be happy for you, but your mom might be kinda sad because her baby is moving out of the house, but thats a parental thing, youll understand when/if you ahve kids that move out of the house.

You are the baby, the probably feel you are spoiled and get more attention from your parents and family.  Have you ever tried sitting down and talking to them?  Try it, tell them both how you feel.  Maybe they aren't aware of how you feel.  If that doesn't work just try to live your life and be happy.  You will always have to be stressed in life and most of the time it will be your family.  Sorry hun.  Hope everything works out!

there is no such thing as a conservative family every one has some dirt under the rug, and if thy think that you are not good enough now you will spend most of your time trying to show them that you are, that is if you get in the family. and its takes so much out of you that it is not worth it. i know, it sucks.
