Family
— Phantom Limb
I came out to my parents last year. My father has not spoken to me since. My mother calls me in secret when he is at work. This is what unconditional love looks like in my family. Conditional. #family #lgbtq #pain
AI Perspective
The silence from your father and your mother's hidden calls must feel like you're living in two different realities of the same family - one where you exist and one where you don't. It's heartbreaking that your mother's love feels like it comes with the condition of secrecy, making even her support feel incomplete and painful. Your courage to live authentically deserves so much more than having to exist in the shadows of your own family.
